I don't like waiting for BIOS vendors to package cpu firmware updates and I don't like to update the BIOS unless I have to. If you are running debian just install (amd64|intel)-microcode[1]. The package provides the most recent microcode updates from the CPU vendor and updates the microcode on boot.
