Per contra to “ucode-intel”.
ucode-amd - Microcode updates for AMD CPUs
This package contains the microcode files used by AMD CPUs.
Why should there be more? are you missing something? I am completely missing the essence of your question.
No idea …
- AMD is an openSUSE sponsor.
- Intel contributes more than a little bit to Linux development …
- Maybe the GitHub Microcode Repository can offer some insight … <https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes>
With Leap I am getting frequent updates for ucode-intel package.
Updated ucode-amd package is available for kernel:stable repo, but not for Leap.
Maybe this is not a problem - I can get microcode updates with BIOS update.
I simply asking: why we have such difference?
ucode-amd is a sub-packages of kernel-firmware:
