Microcode Update
What is a microcode update?
Da es für Prozessoren keine Treiber gibt , bietet Intel ab den Prozessoren der P6-Familie (Pentium
Pro) die Möglichkeit, den Befehlssatz (Microcode) des Prozessors zu aktualisieren. This enables
minor errors to be corrected and the performance to be increased.
To guarantee the best possible performance and error-free operation, Intel recommends updating
the microcode for every new processor. Intel refers to the use of the processor without microcode
updates as operation outside the specifications.
