On modern laptops, the CPU isn't the only processor working. Intel chipsets include a subsystem (the Management Engine) that handles low-level tasks while the computer is sleeping or turned off. This includes:
Offloads background signal computation to lower power consumption across the motherboard.
The "PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller" is not a physical component you can touch, but rather a within the Intel Chipset. It is part of the Intel Serial IO (Input/Output) driver suite.
