Firmware: Boot ROM
None
x86 CPUs don't have true "software" boot ROMs in mask ROM (such as those in many ARM SoCs). Most x86 platforms map the firmware in SPI flash directly into address space at the reset vector, where it can be executed in-place. Prior to this, some early initialization may be performed by the ROM microcode, or by coprocessors (such as the ME/PSP) if present.
Firmware Signing
None
CPU Microcode
Proprietary
All current x86 CPUs use proprietary microcode, stored in mask ROM in the CPU itself. Additional updates to this microcode can be temporarily loaded by firmware and/or the OS.
Management Coprocessor: Firmware
Proprietary, fully removable (ME Gen1)
On ME versions 5 and below (prior to Nehalem), the ME can be entirely disabled with flash descriptor configuration, and its firmware can safely be entirely removed from the flash image.
Communications Coprocessor: Internal Firmware
WLAN proprietary, but card is removable
Communications Coprocessor: Host-Loaded Firmware
Unnecessary with some cards (e.g. ath9k)
Security Coprocessor: Firmware
Proprietary, but use of it is optional (TPM)
Embedded Controller: Firmware

Hardware: Board Electrical Schematic
