Can you give some source for this information?
There is no update in the Intel advisory[1], and also there is no new
content in microcode repository[2].

This one?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4497165/kb4497165-intel-microcode-updates

It doesn't cover recent issues, only adds (old) microcode for various
CPUs not included previously.
I can't find any newer advisory related to microcode.
