As Phil said, this basically REMOVES the new microcode.dat file and reverts to the last stable one before the spectre / meltdown update set. Please see my tweet about this: https://twitter.com/JohnnyCentOS/status/953734648764477440 For those of you without twitter (WHAT .. who doesn't have twitter :D ) Look at: https://t.co/6fT61xgtGH Get the latest microcode.dat file from here: https://t.co/zPwagbeJFY See how to update the microcode from the links at the bottom of this page: https://t.co/EOgclWdHCw An before anyone asks ..
