@Zoran: I also have an X220 (2nd gen Core I5) on which I did not

suppose you are rather asking for much newer CPUs from the 6th and 7th
generation?

Hello Daniel,
Second generation CORE is SNB. CPUID something like 0x20xyz. CORE 2nd gen. was released Y2011. Third generation CORE is IVB. CPUID something like 0x30xyz. Core 3rd gen. was released Y2012.
What I am talking/pointing ot about is the following: *Fourth generation CORE is HSW. CPUID something like 0x40651 (i5 4300U) - HP 840 G1 - one of my laptops. Released Y2013.* *Sixth generation CORE is SKL. CPUID something like 0x606E3 (i5 6200U) - HP 450 G3 - another of my laptops. Released Y2015.*
4th (HSW-U) and 6th (SKL-U) generations of CPUs in laptops: these are ones I am talking about/pointing to (don't think CORE 5th gen. is important).
Sorry I am late with Re:.
Hi Zoran,
You are welcome! But I don't have any of these newer laptops and afaik Coreboot does not support many of them, either. Especially the newer Thinkpads (T/X240+) are not supported. But sure, if anybody has one of these machines doing similar experiments would really make sense. I still wonder why I didn't read or hear about any complaints about running Libreboot/Coreboot on a X200 since the difference of the missing C4 mode (by default at least) is so striking.
Cheers, Daniel
