Is the article wrong, or was the rdrand issue actually bios-specific rather than in CPU microcode?Edit: Whoever downvoted this - ucode update is supported by both Intel and AMD for quite a while. You certainly can just download it: https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes/tree/master/AMD parent viraptor 7 years ago
