The real thing is: can you update the microcode of older CPUs? If not then it’s a marketing strategy.
It sounds like the criterion is “is newer microcode available”. So it doesn’t look like a marketing strategy to sell new CPUs.
The article does specify that it would report if the newest version of the firmware for the CPU family is not installed, so it doesn’t seem like this is that particular kind of BS.
@GolfNovemberUniform @captainkangaroo Yes and Linux includes software to do this.
I mean, it’s still good to know if you’re vulnerable right (for sake of discussion)?
