If/When we find it, it will be uploaded at the repository.
I am now running the new cpu306A9_plat12_ver00000021_2019-02-13_PRD_A8DF9213.bin (ivy i7-3770) and it’s like i got an extra core added to my cpu.
Especially I/O seems to have gotten a boost on my system.
Isn’t this just the 20190312 public release pack? Nope, it is a new batch!
For the record, keep an eye here:

Intel is adding another weird knob on these latest updates, Linux got a patch to deal with it. But the patch description was way too obfuscated, and I don’t have time to find out exactly how the PMU works to understand exactly what they did. This doesn’t mean it is security-related, though.
Can I get that into my BIOS with UBU?
Success with download of latest UBU + name change on MMTOOL, after messing around trying to replace MCE.db

#Note 1: It seems like, you have already updated the database, moreover some are newer than this list! (ex: 43 instead of 41 for Platform 6F Haswell-E) as you have mentioned, those have SPOILER fix!
Note 2: There is also an update present by Microsoft at, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help…crocode-updates named: KB4465065: Intel microcode updates. But, it is not mentioning about SPOILER related fix too. This current fix is downloadable from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com…aspx?q=4465065 for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 only, being as installer file(s)! Sadly, Windows 7 is not supported…
The KB4465065 update is NOT offered thru Windows Update. It can only be obtained by Microsoft Update Catalog.
i don’t know if following is caused by the new 21 mcode for ivy, but i had to lower my ddr voltage to 1.45 from 1.5 cause it was generating errors , errors that came even faster with higher voltage so i dropped it till no errors occured. Strange thing, maybe coincidence.
@GnarZ77
I have tried with MSI Z77A-GD65, i3-3220 processor. I have no issues, DDR3-2133 Ram speed with 1.5 Volts. (GSkill Trident brand single 8GB Ram) I am using this for Hackintosh mainly. Loaded Niresh Mojave Hackintosh 10.14.1, lately with 21 microcode, no issues again…
@karakarga , where did you get the information that the newest Intel microcodes address SPOILER?
I don’t doubt it has some sort of fix, I just want to know why people think this update fixes it.

for this very same reason l will be leaving intel very soon for AMD. Seems very much marketing fron intel to me…
