About the hardware change

Hello,
At the moment I have installed CachyOS on a computer with a board for an intel processor,
and I will be changing to AMD components, leaving only the Nvidia graphics card.
Do I need to reinstall the system, because in this issue I am green when it comes to Linux.

No, you do not need to reinstall. You might want to switch the microcode from ā€œintel-ucodeā€ to ā€œamd-ucodeā€, besides nothing else is required.

Since the NVIDIA GPU stays, there are no changes needed on driver side their neither.

Well, to save space, since the initramfs will bundle both microcodes due early loading. It gets automatically detected at the installation, which CPU is present,.

1.So it is enough to install ā€œamd-ucodeā€ before changing the motherboard and processor?
2.Is it required to uninstall ā€œintel-ucodeā€ ?
3.If not, wonā€™t it cause some problems ?
