I downloaded this microcode from the link and got the latest BIOS for my Asus motherboard. I found my CPU family/model/stepping using https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005651/processors.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000... I used a tool and instructions from https://www.delidded.com/how-to-update-cpu-microcode-in-ami-bios/ https://www.delidded.com/how-to-update-cpu-microcode-in-ami-... to update my AMI BIOS. It recognized the microcode and added it to the list. Unfortunately, the tool showed my microcode as having a date of 2013 even if it was listed and included in the download. So I have to wait for updated microcode I assume. I flashed it anyway. Post boot tests showed I was not protected by microcode... I have a Bloomfield CPU. This technique will probably work for someone else with a newer CPU.
