According to a question at the end, this is about very old CPUs, K8/K10, because the newer ones authenticate microcode updates with public key cryptography which hasn't been broken. Still pretty amazing stuff.
- loeg 8y agoYeah, the description says "up to 2013." I think that's likely a bit more recent than K10 but I don't know.
- TazeTSchnitzel 8y agoThat's just the tail end of K10 production (2012 according to Wikipedia). Its successor, Bulldozer, came out in 2011, but a new architecture being out doesn't mean its predecessor immediately stops production.
