>AheadComputing is betting on an open architecture called RISC-V

I wish them success, plus I hope they do not do what Intel did with its add-ons.

Hoping for an open system (which I think RISC-V is) and nothing even close to Intel ME or AMT.

The architecture is independent of additional silicon with separate functions. The "only" thing which makes RISC-V open are that the specifications are freely available and freely usable.

Intel ME is, by design, separate from the actual CPU. Whether the CPU uses x86 or RISC-V is essentially irrelevant.
