Description Eugene Syromiatnikov 2020-06-10 15:32:02 UTC

microcode-20200520 release[1] introduced 0x71a revision of 06-2d-07 (Sandy Bride-E/EN/EP, CPUID 0x206d7) microcode, and it may be probably enabled by default now.

Comment 13 Jeff Bastian 2020-06-24 21:03:42 UTC

Verified with microcode_ctl-2.1-73.el7.

Sandy Bridge EP microcode updated automatically (it did not need a "force" file since it's no longer blacklisted).
