Title:
intel-microcode should be installed by default, when the CPU is
GenuineIntel
Status in intel:
New
Status in Ubuntu CD image build software:
New
Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
intel-microcode should be installed by default on the bare-metal
systems which are running on GenuineIntel CPUs, by the installers.
Similarly other microcode packages for other CPUs brands should be
considered for inclusion (e.g. amd64-microcode).
I hope that ubuntu-drivers-common can gain ability to detect cpu
series and/or vendors, packages that provide microcodes similarly
declare support for cpu series and/or vendors, the microcode packages
are shipped on the CDs in the pool directory, and installed on to the
target machines as part of the installation.
This should help with rapid correction of bugs and behaviour of the
CPUs in the field.
