So you are saying that sandy and ivybridge have spectre microcode updates?
I hate how unclear intel is about this.
How do I patch my coreboot?
Like I said, the update is here for anybody to cherry-pick and test: https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/blobs/+/23315/
I expect this change to be merged sometime "soon", when reviewed.
Yes, they even updated sandybridge and ivybridge. (For those, you only need the first of those 4 patches)
Intel doesn't seem to care about informing users directly, at least this time around. They've worked with and for their "industry partners" and have left packaging updates to BIOS vendors. In the end we have a full release from Intel again though, so we're happy at last :)
