Meltdown and Spectre Linux Kernel Status

I’m confused… The article led me to recheck whether I’m loading the newest Intel ucode update during early boot, and it turns out I am, but the latest ucode revision for my Ivybridge machine is from 2015. Didn’t Intel push microcode updates for all affected systems yet, in preparation for more spectre-related mitigations?

Lenovo mentions [1] a "target availability" of a bios update for my x230 with ivybridge for 2nd of February. Intel didn't update the microcode for those chips yet.

Intel is behind on the patches... 6 months is not enough time apparently.
