<p>
Unlike x86 (e.g. Intel/AMD) CPUs, ARM CPUs do not use microcode, not even built in.
On the Intel/AMD based libreboot systems, there is still microcode in the CPU

exclude microcode updates (volatile updates which are uploaded at boot time by the boot firmware,
if present), which are proprietary software.
