In any case, according Intel, microcode should be updated by BIOS
I wonder if anyone from intel can manage to say that with a straight
face.
This is the dmesg | grep microcode output for the i5 gen3:
[ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x21, date

[ 0.222193] SRBDS: Vulnerable: No microcode

and here the one for the E3 v5:
[ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xd6, date
= 2019-10-03
[ 0.379026] SRBDS: Vulnerable: No microcode

Seems like the microcode is applied to my CPUs. This is also supported
by numerous other CVEs getting mitigated after intel-microcode
installation.
I also tried the latest meltdown-spectre-checker (v0.44), the results
are the same (plus another red 2020 CVE).
