KB4497165 Intel microcode updates for Windows 10 1903 and 1909 Sept. 1 Win Update

AMD's processors have Microcode exactly like Intel's, getting the microcode update it totally normal if it updates the file mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll. Except it will be strange to name it only Intel microcode update

You can check if the file has been updated from the image version 10.0.18362.1 then the KB4497165 is for both Intel and AMD

I have a Sandy Bridge CPU. Could you please elaborate on why they are not affected by this vulnerability?

So my 8700k is now two versions behind and thats as current as the MS update provides. It is 0xb4, then 0xc6 was released as I saw in one of the intel publications a few months back, and the link posted above indicated 0xD6 released recently. Wonder when they finally include?
