microcode : 0xf0
----
Since a microcode package contains microcode for different CPU types, an updated
microcode for your CPU will only be included occasionally. Therefore, date
information from the package can also not be matched to a specific release date
from the vendor.
A microcode package has updates for many different CPUs. But updates
specifically for your CPU might not come often. So, just looking at the date on
the package won't tell you when the company actually released an update for your
specific CPU.
If the microcode package is installed, the system has been rebooted, and the
microcode included in the package is more recent than that on the motherboard
and CPU, the message "microcode updated early" appears in the log:
If you've installed a new microcode package and rebooted your {pve} host, and
this new microcode is newer than both, the version baked into the CPU and the
one from the motherboard's firmware, you'll see a message in the system log
saying "microcode updated early".
