@Uqbar The microcode update is fine and exactly as expected. 2018-01-08 is the release date of the microcode *bundle*, which contains 20 microcodes updated at various times around late November, mid-December 2017.
In the case of his 0x406e3 CPU, the microcode is from 2017-11-16, which is exactly what appears in the log. And in case you are wondering why there was almost two months between the microcode creation and its release: because it takes time to properly test such low-level changes, and it takes time to create new microcodes for all CPUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700373 Title: intel-microcode is out of date, version 20170707 fixes errata on 6th and 7th generation platforms To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1700373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
