Intel is providing updated firmware that needs to be integrated into the Bios and/or chipset drivers - we're dependent on ASRock to deliver the updates. I'm picking on ASRock out of pure self interest - I have one of their Z170 MBs. They work with system integrators and MB manufacturers. Chip manufacturers don't provide end user support. And the microcode update or ME can be done at OS Level too so no need to wait for ASROCK.

AND Intel in december 27 has provided system and motherboard manufacturers with the necessary firmware and software updates to resolve the vulnerabilities identified in Security Advisory Intel-SA-00086, Asrock can't make one on his own so following intel is a good idea. You are reading an old thread.but at the moment of the question microsoft (working with AMD and Intel) were the only one giving updates for spectre and meltdown, a microcode update was not been mentioned and the only updates available where at the OS level provided by microsoft.

Now we know that we need an update for the ME, He asked the question on January 9( Intel Actually released a new update for the ME on 2)(just a few days before his question) and most of us at the moment had no idea that a Intel Management Engine Firmware Update was required. Thats correct, ASROCK is not a chip maker. That's why you should admit you were wrong. Just like all the other mainboard manufacturers. You wrote: "Why ASROCK? ASROCK is not a chip maker."Īsrock does provide Microcode updates.
