intel-microcode: intel-microcode (Linux Processor Microcode Data File)
intel-microcode:
-intel-microcode: The microcode data file contains the latest microcode definitions
-intel-microcode: for all Intel processors. Intel releases microcode updates to
-intel-microcode: correct processor behavior as documented in the respective processor
-intel-microcode: specification updates.
+intel-microcode: CPU microcode is a mechanism to correct certain errata in existing
+intel-microcode: systems. The normal preferred method to apply microcode updates is
+intel-microcode: using the system BIOS, but for a subset of Intel processors this
+intel-microcode: can be done at runtime using the operating system. This package
+intel-microcode: contains those processors that support OS loading of microcode
+intel-microcode: updates.
