Unfortunately, this problem is larger than a micro-code update. The main issue the user is likely referring to is Intel shipping defective product (oxidation issues), denying warranty claims for said defective product, then staying quiet when it's proven they have been shipping defective product. Intel could have owned up to the issue and proactively recalled defective units, but, they didn't do the honorable thing, not even close.
