Intel released a new public microcode update. It includes new microcode for
very recent desktop/notebook/embedded Broadwell processors, and updated the
microcode for the Haswell-EP Xeon processors (Xeon E5v3) and Haswell-E
Hexacore 4th gen Haswell Core processors.
The microcode update for the 5th-gen Core/Core M-5Y broadwell processors was
fast-tracked (~1 month old). Coreboot also updated this very same microcode
(although they have an even newer revision), so this is a strong hint that
the update fixes critical errata.
No microcodes were removed, so the risk of regression is low.
There were no other changes to the package other than the intel-provided
microcode data, and changelog documentation.
