Tested on my Intel machines Hmm, the old mechanism gave me 169 files while this new one gives me only 99. On the other hand, the file -rw-r----- 1 andre andre 6144 18 Jan 17:40 0f-02-07 from the new one, is the concatenation of -rw-r----- 1 andre andre 2048 18 Jan 17:41 m02f2738.fw -rw-r----- 1 andre andre 2048 18 Jan 17:41 m04f2737.fw -rw-r----- 1 andre andre 2048 18 Jan 17:42 m08f2739.fw from the old one (there are more files like this). However, I wonder if feeding cpucontrol with 0f-02-07 on a machine which formerly had been patched using m04f2737.fw will still work.
