    According to amd only epic cpus benefit from the standalone microcode update. All others need an updated bios with the new microcode. Zen 1 and zen 2 don’t need microcode updates. Also having the new microcode doesn’t mitigate the vulernability on its own as far as I can tell, the kernel needs to be the one doing the mitigation.
