Fun fact: AMD has *still* not released Zen microcode updates for Spectre on desktop chips (at least not in linux-firmware). Only for EPYC. amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam17h.bin only contains ucode for stepping 2 (EPYC).

Yes, AMD is definitely asleep at the wheel there. I guess EPYC was rightfully the priority for getting patches out first as servers are a bigger and juicier target than normal users' computers, but they've had almost a full year (plus however much time previous to public notice).

I suspect they gave microcode updates to BIOS vendors and just didn't bother with Linux users. Looking through a BIOS update now to see if I can find something for Ryzen/TR.
