### Intel microcode updates
Intel microcode updates tagged *microcode-20200616* are still included in our
builds. Note, [Intel released new microcode updates]
(https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/blob/main/releasenote.md)
tagged
1. *microcode-20201110*
2. *microcode-20201112*
3. *microcode-20201118*
with security updates for [INTEL-SA-00381]
(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00381.html)
and [INTEL-SA-00389]
(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00389.html).
Due to too short time for rigorous testing and bad experience with botched
microcode updates in the past, these new updates are not included. Users wanting
to use those, can apply them in the operating system, or update the submodule
pointer themselves.
