This is the microcode for INTEL CPUs that you can find in Clear Linux

regular intel-ucode microcode found in official arch repos is often a few months behind intel-ucode-clear and might not have the same perks and optimizations as it follows a different release pipeline.

Click on "Show More.." for instructions...

  • I only use systemd-boot.
  • I will not provide how to procedures on bootloaders I do not test myself.
  • I don't use grub or bootloaders other than systemd-boot, compatibility with other bootloaders is very much possible but untested.
  • In previous comments you should be able to find how to make it work with grub.
  • This package does not conflict with the intel-ucode package as you might use it to start a different kernel and they may coexist on different bootloader entries.
  • This package is not suited for AMD CPUs or Intel-Mac computers even if they are x86_64 but if you are interested in submitting to the AUR an AMD or Intel-Mac compatible package, I will be able to provide you with the script I use to generate this package as starting point.

To make it work, add both:

/intel-ucode.cpio and /i915-firmware.cpio.xz

to your bootloader entry as initrd.

e.g. on systemd-boot

title KatoLinux 5.7
linux /vmlinuz-5.7-x86_64
initrd /intel-ucode.cpio
initrd /i915-firmware.cpio.xz
initrd /initramfs-5.7-x86_64.img
options root=UUID=XXX rw

Gorgeous, thank you!

this package hasn't been working for about half an hour as intel changed slightly how their files are stored on their servers, tweaked my script I use to generate the PKGBUILD and it works fine now

I'm sorry if this hasn't been working correctly in the past 3 hours, it's fixed now.

@katoitalia what's the difference between intel-ucode and this package?

katoitalia commented on 2020-12-11 14:06 (UTC)

@0day it is not a mandatory requirement

Should I use this package instead of intel-ucode if using linux-clear kernel?

Khaithang commented on 2020-11-21 13:41 (UTC)

Does it conflict with intel-ucode in extra repository link: - https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/intel-ucode/ i have three kernels (clear linux, linux zen and main kernel) i already have intel-ucode.img in my boot directory in loads for all the kernel. And i have the i915 firmware in the main and zen kernel but not in clear linux, should i remove the exisiting intel-code and put this version along with the i915 firmware in the clear linux menu in grub ?

Getting this kernel log message since I switched to mkinitcpio-zstd, linux-clear boots just fine though;

Initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic at start of compressed archive

Funny thing is that this msg does not appear on linux-zen rebuilt with mkinitcpio-zstd.
