Intel is working on a new microcode update that is made specifically for the 10th Generation HEDT Cascade Lake-X lineup. MSI will be offering the new microcode for their X299 motherboard lineup in the coming weeks as they have stated in a recent press release.

Intel launched its 10th Generation X-series HEDT lineup known as Cascade Lake-X on the 25th of November along with X299 motherboards from their AIB partners. While the Core i9-10980XE 18 core flagship tried hard to bring back performance per value to Intel's HEDT lineup, it failed to do so and went on to become a major disappointment as we have stated in our review over here. The processor also didn't feature any impressive overclocking results like the previous 7th Generation X-series lineup which was a major let down. We were only able to push the chip to 4.7 GHz & even still, power consumption and thermals were a major concern in our tests.
