What's the proper way then, for intel?
1. install sysutils/cpupdate and enable it in rc.conf ?
2. microcode_update_enable="yes" in rc.conf ?
3. in /boot/loader.conf:
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"
?
All 3 ? Just 1 & 2? Is just #3 sufficient?
Make cron attempt to download updates daily, via service cpupdate download ?
Is CPM needed?
The manpage for cpupdate has this:
