    microcode revision guidance april2 2018 MCU Recommendations The following table provides details of availability for microcode updates currently planned by Intel. Changes since the previous version are highlighted in yellow. LEGEND: Production Status: • Planning – Intel has not yet determined a schedule for this MCU. • Pre-beta – Intel is performing early validation for this MCU. • Beta – Intel has released this production signed MCU under NDA for all customers to validate. • Production – Intel has completed all validation and is authorizing customers to use this MCU in a production environment. • Stopped – After a comprehensive investigation of the microarchitectures and microcode capabilities for these products, Intel has determined to not release microcode updates for these products for one or more reasons including, but not limited to the following: • Micro-architectural characteristics that preclude a practical implementation of features mitigating Variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715) • Limited Commercially Available System Software support • Based on customer inputs, most of these products are implemented as “closed systems” and therefore are expected to have a lower likelihood of exposure to these vulnerabilities. Pre-Mitigation Production MCU: • For products that do not have a Production MCU with mitigations for Variant 2 (Spectre), Intel recommends using this version of MCU. This does not impact mitigations for Variant 1 (Spectre) and Variant 3 (Meltdown). STOP deploying these MCU revs: • Intel recommends to discontinue using these select versions of MCU that were previously released with mitigations for Variant 2 (Spectre) due to system stability issues. • Lines with “***” were previously recommended to discontinue use. Subsequent testing by Intel has determined that these were unaffected by the stability issues and have been re-released without modification.

This process technology builds technology. Intel has kept its promise and is today upon the tremendously successful 45nm the only company with production 45nm with process technology that enabled the launch of high-k + metal gate transistors. the Intel® microarchitecture codename Nehalem and the Intel® Core™ i7 processor. In fact, the 45 nm production ramp has been the fastest in Intel history. 45nm processor unit Building upon the tremendous success of the production has ramped twice as fast as the 65nm 45nm process technology with high-k + metal process technology in its first year. Today, 45nm gate transistors, Intel is nearing the ramp of products are being manufactured across 32nm process technology with second computing segments. Single core Intel® Atom™ generation high-k + metal gate transistors.
