If CPU is Intel why is an AMD blob installed?
by Ulysses_ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YN41)
Listing blobs with vrms in my favorite distro outputs this:
Non-free packages installed on peppermint
amd64-microcode Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs
fonts-ubuntu sans-serif font set from Ubuntu
intel-microcode Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs
nemo-dropbox Dropbox integration for Nemo
ttf-ubuntu-font-family sans-serif font set from Ubuntu (transitional package)
Contrib packages installed on peppermint
flashplugin-installer Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
iucode-tool Intel processor microcode tool
CPU is by Intel, why are there both the Intel and the AMD microcode packages installed? :eek:
