Actually for my processor (0x000306d4 / i5-5200U) this release (20171117) only contains: 050/001: sig 0x000306d4, pf_mask 0xc0, 2017-01-27, rev 0x0025, size 17408 I find it weird that the Intel release from 2017-11-17 doesn't contain a microcode file supposedly released on the same day, but it seems to be the case. > I saw a bios update for my Dell laptop dated December 28, but it didn't > seem to change anything with the cpuids or microcode status from before. Not sure which distribution you use nowadays but Henrique just pushed a microcode update to Debian with some collected microcodes: https://tracker.debian.org/news/899110 Obviously it lacks a *lot* of processors (especially pre-Haswell). > > A hard answer to what "soon" means here would be nice to get, as I'm > seeing a lot of misunderstanding floating around right now :( Agreed, but I'm not sure who can provide the information.
