@Uqbar The microcode update is fine and exactly as expected. 2018-01-08
is the release date of the microcode *bundle*, which contains 20
microcodes updated at various times around late November, mid-December
2017.

In the case of his 0x406e3 CPU, the microcode is from 2017-11-16, which
is exactly what appears in the log.

And in case you are wondering why there was almost two months between
the microcode creation and its release: because it takes time to
properly test such low-level changes, and it takes time to create new
microcodes for all CPUs.
