 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
-   - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP test data is
-     not included in this report version. This is due to performance
-     and behaviour inconsistency following the upgrade to the latest
-     Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version (4.15.0-72-generic) and
-     associated microcode packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode
-     0x500002c). Test data will be added in subsequent maintenance
-     report version(s) once the issue is resolved. See
-     :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
+   - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: VPP performance
+     test data is not included in this report version. This is due to
+     the lower performance and behaviour inconsistency of these
+     systems following the upgrade of processor microcode packages
+     (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c), done as part of
+     updating Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version. Tested VPP and DPDK
+     applications (L3fwd) are affected. Skx and Clx test data will be
+     added in subsequent maintenance report version(s) once the issue
+     is resolved. See :ref:`vpp_known_issues`.
 
    - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added new NF density tests with
      IPsec encryption between DUTs.
