HP Compaq Business PC Manageability
3 
The following companies provided input into the creation of the DASH specification: 
•  Hewlett-Packard 
•  Intel 
•  AMD 
•  Broadcom 
DASH is an alternative to Intel AMT and shares many of the same features and 
goals as Intel AMT. However, Intel AMT is proprietary to Intel and can only be used 
with high-end Intel desktop and mobile chipsets, whereas DASH is compatible with 
any chipset providing certain requirements are met. Intel AMT v3.2 and later 
contain DASH support, although the level of support is dependent on the Intel AMT 
version.
