Ha!
Good luck finding one of these machines without binary blobs needed at some
point in the process after pressing the power button.
For example:
Sandybridge requires (besides the MRC binary) a MEI binary, for the embedded
controller in the chipset.
Without a proper MEI firmware, the CPU won't even start executing x86
opcodes. The MEI firmware is signed (with some private Intel key). You (or
someone) might be able to reimplement the raminit part. Good luck cracking
the key to MEI firmware signatures.
