Please include the version number.

I notice that the download page on amd64.org also has GPG signatures.
Perhaps those should be included too?

(Actually, I would like to see verifiable signatures on all binary
firmware, but I don't think that can be made a requirement any time
soon. Key 9F94BC90 isn't signed by another published key, so I still
have no reason to trust its identity.)

Ben.

The amd64.org site is down and will no longer be used for distributing AMD microcode patches. Therefore, the Key ID 9F94BC90 will no longer be used to sign the future microcode container files. A new key will be created and signed by me and another AMD co-worker. We will resend the patch with the Key ID 8C0108B4. You can pull this key from the gnuPG key server to verify and see it is signed by two other keys, one belonging to me and the other by Suravee Suthikulpanit, with AMD email addresses.
