Here is a successful test of a Core i5-6600 Skylake CPU under Xenial. $ uname -a Linux 4.10.0-28-generic #32~16.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 20 10:19:48 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo (...) vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 94 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600 CPU @ 3.30GHz stepping : 3 microcode : 0xa6 (...) Before installing the intel-microcode package I had: kernel: microcode: sig=0x506e3, pf=0x2, revision=0xa6 kernel: microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2. After installing the 3.20151106.1 package version: kernel: microcode: sig=0x506e3, pf=0x2, revision=0xa6 kernel: microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2. (No surprise, since the microcode release was older than the CPU.) After installing the 3.20170707.1~ubuntu16.04.0 package version: kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xba, date = 2017-04-09 kernel: microcode: sig=0x506e3, pf=0x2, revision=0xba kernel: microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2. So, the update worked fine, and the machine booted and seems to run fine. :) I'll pay attention in the next few days if the machine exhibits any weird behavior. It is extremely stable, so any new problem should stick out clearly. -- 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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700373 Title: intel-microcode is out of date, version 20170707 fixes errata on 6th and 7th generation platforms To manage notifications about this bug go to: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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
