Intel ships, but only to vendors, while they could ship those damn microcodes directly on their website. We now have to wait for vendors to put those microcodes in their BIOS and release them...
- avtar 9y agoIf vendors ever end up releasing them for older motherboards. It doesn’t look like Asus will be doing so for mine, an X99-Deluxe, purchased four years ago.
- mattst88 9y agoThey release a microcode package for Linux. The kernel will load it from an initramfs, so no need to flash your BIOS. First lines in my dmesg are: [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xc2, date = 2017-11-16 [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.14.14+ (mattst88@p50-ethernet) (gcc version 6.4.0 (Gentoo 6.4.0-r1 p1.3)) #19 SMP Sun Feb 4 00:20:02 PST 2018
- vbernat 9y agoAs you can see, your update is outdated (from the 20171117 bundle, pre-Spectre).

- vbernat 9y agoNot the updated ones. The ones on the site are from November.
