Talk:Intel microcode

Adding Guidance sheets
I suggest adding Microcode Revision Guidance sheets to the wiki to reference proper codes returned by 'dmesg | grep microcode'. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/sa00115-microcode-update-guidance.pdf ---

Intel Spectre Check
I was sort of unaware microcode is no longer automatically updated during booting until now. I had to use this guide to create the /boot/early_ucode.cpio for updating my Intel CPU on boot. I would strongly suggest putting a separate topic near the top of this article titled "Checking for Intel Spectre Meltdown", with the intent users install & run the app-admin/spectre-meltdown-checker program before and after implementing changes, verifying Intel CPU microcode is updated during initd as the dmesg and logs appear vacant of any updating information! --Roger (talk) 04:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
