  They have been sort of cracked, but it doesn't matter. The web or chain of trust of those updates from the vendor to the processor is what matters. They're at least CRC checked to prevent loading corrupt files.

• amd cpu firmware microcode ? (-current)
  1 project | /r/openbsd | 5 Apr 2022

  OpenBSD kernel has no support for loading microcode on AMD CPUs, A number of issues/errata on AMD systems may be fixed as part of AGESA updates, in addition to microcode as part of BIOS/firmware updates. While there have been microcode updates released for Zen+ or newer CPUs, but these seem to be less frequent than Intel.

  Is it anymore of a "magic incantation" than the linux-image-XYZ package which controls which OS kernel is installed?
