I had the issue as descrived from the OP:
"My laptop hangs on "loading initial ramdisk" at startup. However, it start up without any problems when the power supply is connected 0_o"
I have: * Dell precision 3530 with the same CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz * Ubuntu 18.04.4
After adding the PPA https://launchpad.net/~vicamo/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-1862751 an automatic upgrade appeared to me via Ubuntu Software Updater with a patch at the microcode to all kernels in my machine and now it works good!
Notice that i tried to boot with different kernels without power supply and the kernel v 4.18.X was NOT AFFECTED, with that kernel my machine worked well before the patch
Current intel-microcode package version: 3.20191115.1ubuntu0.18.04.3
