If you are using Intel chipsets and processors, you have to update your drivers. This is how to set that up easily in Arch linux.
Use the package manager to download intel-ucode.
$ pacman -S intel-ucode ## this will be downloaded from community repositories and get updates automatically if there's a new version
To set this up automatically and you don't have a custom kernel (if you have one, then YOU should know how to set this up) run grub-mkconfig.
$ grub-mkconfig
This will edit your grub.cfg file and add a line for the intel-ucode.img file.
After running it you can check the grub config file with:
$ sudo less /boot/grub/grub.cfg ## you should scroll down and look for instances of this line up to the end of the file.
