## Enable Microcode Updates
The microcode of Intel and AMD CPUs can be automatically updated by installing
the `amd-ucode` or `intel-ucode` package depending on your CPU.
The following description assumes the system is installed with
[UEFI bootloader](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/installation.md#10-install-and-configure-uefi-bootloader)
similar to the [recommended guide](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/installation.md).
The microcode updates can then be enabled by adding the following line into
`/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf`:
```txt
initrd /<installed microcode package>.img
```
`<installed microcode package>` is either `amd-ucode` or `intel-ucode`.
