I checked my system: There seems to be no package related to "microcode"
installed, and I checked YaST: There is no microcode-related package matching
"microcode|intel|processor". My expectation was that such a package should be
installed by default, and it should be on the installation media.
Only on http://software.opensuse.org/package/ucode-intel I could find the
package.
So I tired
"http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.2/standard/x86_64/ucode-intel-20140913-1.1.x86_64.rpm"
For some obscure reason, the CPUs' microcode did not update; for some strange
reasons, a reboot seems to be required. Ok, you'll have to wait...
