This port uses the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your Intel
|
|
processor's firmware up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
Updating your microcode can help to mitigate certain potential security
|
|
vulnerabilities in CPUs as well as address certain functional issues that could,
|
|
for example, result in unpredictable system behavior such as hangs, crashes,
|
|
unexpected reboots, data errors, etc.
