Microsoft Patch Helps reliability of PCs that use Intel CPUs

Post by Apoptosis »

A microcode reliability update is available that improves the reliability of systems that use Intel processors. Strange this was released on June 22nd and I never heard anything about it...

I've been running it on my system for a few days already, I haven't really noticed anything different performance wise. But it did install ok without issue and hasn't caused any problems (so far).
