Re: stockfish and microcode intel update
I think the microcode update is normally done in the bios.
Probably it is not important for Stockfish anyway.

No that is not in all cases true.Joost Buijs wrote:I think the microcode update is normally done in the bios.

Linux has/had userspace code that would "upload" some kind of binary file to the processor.
These files were/are published by intel and contained runtime fixes for the microcode.
