the roundabout statements of purism and system76 suggest that disabling it is possible in a controlled manner.

i hope we will find more guides on how to do this soon.

so far all i know is that it (the me disabler script from github) works on only a few cpus, and even on them it's a sort of russian roulette...

purism on their site have a blog where the research on this topic is described and there are links to the scripts that can be used to muck around with the firmware etc
