Hi! I maintain the port of cpupdate. Mentioned date corresponds to the version of the utility itself, not to microcodes it uses that are not part of the port/package. Ports users can use one-time "make install-microcodes" convenience helper to download whole bunch of microcode updates for various Intel CPUs. Package users can use one-time "service cpupdate download" that does the same. cpupdate_enable="YES" # in /etc/rc.conf should be enough
