9 For intel;
10
11 iucode_tool -L /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/* | grep -B 1 `iucode_tool -S 2>&1
12 | awk '{print $7}'`

14 As Mick posted, iucode_tool -S will let you know what the CPU signature is,
15 and running iucode_tool -L against the microcode files dumps out which CPU
16 sig each file is for, so the above command just searches the files for the
17 right signature.
