New UEFI/BIOS upgrade planned to solve Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake CPU microcode bug?
According to several sources, Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs seem to have a microcode bug.
See e.g https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/25/intel_skylake_kaby_lake_microcode_bug/.
Disabling hyper-theading is recommended as a work-around.
Is Dell planning a BIOS/UEFI upgrade to address the issue?

You might check the driver download page for your system. Mine has a big yellow message concerning a new Bios being in the works.
