Intel Xeon Platinum 8273CL Complete Info Guide

[RolloZ170]

There are nasty bugs like JCC erratum which were fixed later on, so staying at the old 0500001C is a difficult decision, unless you have no other choice.

its just required here in the BIOS, after POST the OS can load newer.
but even with the MCU you are not safe.

Do you have a list of affected off-roadmap CPUs? Or an educated guess? I might extend my cluster of Cascade Lakes with a few more nodes because of low prices.

i meant even if you have actual MCU, the risk/issue is mostly sitting in front of the Monitor...

I don't get what the issue is.

strange that the microcode updates have shrinked in size.

you see! that's exactly what I meant.

Hello
I'm trying to get an 8273CL running on my X11SPM-TF. I did try BIOS version 3.5 (which was already installed) and 4.3, both don't recognize the CPU. Do I also need a modded BIOS (and how can I get one)?

Edit: I did install BIOS version 3.0b (as hinted above) and with that version it boots up fine. But some more recent version would be nice .
