Does Windows always update microcode or does it rely on the hw vendor to do it?

And this is likely still just the tip of the iceberg. Researchers are concentrating on Intel because of huge invested interests- data centers from Google and such are standardized on Intel processors. This means AMD and POWER haven't had as much attention. There's likely bugs in them that will likewise have performance hits when disabled or worked around. Researchers are also starting to turn their attention to GPUs and security implications. This is ignoring the problem with the black boxes that are IME, PSP, and the base band microcontrolers on most server motherboards. We're going to need flow charts and time line illustrations for hardware generations affected by which bugs color coded by security implication sorted by deployment concerns (desktop/workstation, embedded, virtual machines only, etc).
