        U19 is the EC for the ITE i/o . U20 and U23 are dual SPI,the bios is split across the 2 chips.

          U19 is a 4Mb (=512kB) flash. Contains EC firmware.
          U20 is a 64Mb (=8MB) flash. Contains ME Region.
          U23 is a 32Mb (=4MB) flash. Contains main BIOS.

                Yes this ME region is the "5MB SKU" one. It doesn't fit in a 4MB flash.
                The label "32Mbit (4M byte)" is clearly wrong on the schematics. It happens…

                  Yeah, it happens more than once in this schematic. 2 X 8MB
