Wow, never heard of needing to update CPUs microcode. But I used Windows many years, so it's handled here by Windows updates maybe? Don't wanna invade this thread though. Just installed intel microcode package and my microcode version changed from 0xa1 to 0xa4.Btw, for me, playback is faster in GNU/Linux than Windows, but I don't have a integrated GPU. I don't even use proprietary drivers.Btw found this:Warning: With linux 3.17-2 and linux-lts 3.14.21-2 and newer versions, Intel microcode updates are not triggered automatically any more. Many AUR kernels have followed the path of the official ARCH kernels in this regard: with linux-ck 3.16.6-3, Intel microcode updates are not triggered automatically any more.Will it concern even us later?
