I7 6700K Driver question

[Krisp-kiwi]

Hey everyone,

 

Upon re installing windows I went to double check my drivers were up to date and found my CPU's driver is from 2009 driver version 10.0.18362.1049, in response to this I tried to find an updated driver by using the search for updated driver through device manager and came up with nothing, I've also tried intels device update utility which showed nothing. I get my CPU isn't the newest now but is a driver from 2009 really the latest one? 

I also searched their website and only found a graphics driver for it.

Don't worry about it. There isn't really a driver for the CPU. That kind of stuff is baked into Windows itself, and you have no way of directly updating it.

Thanks for letting me know.
