Having the precise microcode version printed (or exposed somewhere in /sys) is useful - sometimes when there's a weird crash in some
prototype CPU one of the first questions from hw vendors is 'which
precise microcode version was that?'.

(yes that is there today ;-)



Thanks. That's good information.
