[Bug 1911893] Re: latest microcode is not working properly on intel core i9

[Alex Murray]

@dimitryk thanks for letting us know. FYI I tested this update against
approximately 30 different machines before releasing it, and Intel have
their own internal testing as well but it is just not possible to test
against every possible machine and every possible BIOS combination ahead
of time.

Hopefully ASUS will release another BIOS update since I expect that if
you can upgrade the BIOS so that it contains and loads a newer microcode
itself then that should resolve this issue. Please feel free to file a
new bug though detailing both the hardware details of your machine plus
the symptoms which you see as a result of this new intel-microcode
update so that we can track it separately. Thanks.
