Yes it is called AMD-PSP and present in the newer stuff such as AM4 and FM2+, although they did entertain the idea of providing a method to disable it in a reddit thread which a PR guy claims the CEO paid attention to so I suppose a corporate customer that purchases sufficient volume could convince them to actually do it. much better than intel's ignoring of the issue.
