Looks like I should add: As far as I know, Ubuntu Artful is now unsupported, so users of Ubuntu Artful must ensure they switched to Ubuntu Bionic Beaver *or* manually update their intel-microcode package to the one in Bionic Beaver for them to have microcode 0xb2e. I am not sure this will

@pragyan: Ubuntu is shipping the same microcode updates as Debian, so I can answer that. The current version of intel-microcode in Debian and Ubuntu ships what is inside Intel's 20180807a "Linux microcode" package as far as the Intel x86-64 processors are concerned. For the i7-6850K (sig:

For the record: Now that Microsoft started distributing the recent batch of Intel microcode updates, there are reports everywhere from Windows 10 users, that the Microcode updates do break i7-6850K over-clocking. As expected, really. The recommended action is to demand a firmware update from

(for the record: this bug should be set to "won't fix", as in "**can't** fix", but I don't have the required permission to set the "won't fix" state on the bug report). It might be fixed by Intel in a future microcode update, but unless someone tests this and tell us about it, we won't even know

Robert, you have a -K part, which officially "doesn't forbid" overclocking as far as I know, and this is the only reason I have not immediately closed this bug as invalid. It looks like now you get to find out if that means Intel *supports* overclocking or not on -K processors, instead of just
