If it helps the OP, I haven't done anything special, just regular updates and I have this here: root@fireball / # ls -al /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12684 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 490 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7876 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 473 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3510 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 473 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3252 Jan 7 18:19 /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam17h.bin root@fireball / # equery list -p linux-firmware * Searching for linux-firmware ...
