Please, could you reference those regression bugs due to the Intel-released microcode? It's not "operating-system-provided microcode " but CPU vendor's. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Debian bug #776431. Ubuntu bug lp#1480349. For overclocking-related regressions, search overclocker forums. And Intel has done a few microcode revision downgrades over the several years of microcode updates, so we know something was not perfect in some of those microcode updates, but other than

There is no "thinks". It is very rare, but it has happened and we have the bug reports in Ubuntu Debian to prove it. Chances are it will happen again someday. So, some added delay before migrating microcode updates to older LTS branches is advised. If any regressions are reported during that

This is up to the Ubuntu release managers to decide, there's potential to regress things (and sometimes this is not the fault of the microcode update: it can expose bugs just as easily as it can cause them). That said, one must fix lp#1480359 in the target distribution before uploading a backport

If anyone thinks that an updater microcode from Intel can trigger bugs or regressions, then it'd be better to ditch both the microcode package for AMD and for Intel, as well as the package with the needed tool. It either works for every single CPU, or it's not useful. -- You received this bug

I can fix this by downloading the package for the current bleeding-edge version for Xenial and install it manually with dpkg. That package (intel-microcode_3.20151106.1_amd64.deb) can be simply pushed into the 14.04 repositories and have the issue fixed. In my opinion the same problem applies
