Hi Verde Denim, I like to think with free software, I saw that it is a non-free, can we trust of it ? Or this isn't againt debian free software guidelines? Why Intel doesn't give a free microcode???

thanks.

Carlo.

Not sure if this has been answered, but I think the prompt for the
update may be here -

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/07/25/intel-overclocking-block/1

A rather technical discussion on the topic was found here -
http://inertiawar.com/microcode/

The wheezy package is here -
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/intel-microcode

The Jessie package is like wheezy (sub jessie for wheezy)
