What are you talking about? x86 Chromebooks ship with microcode updates. And 
how exactly is a CPU different if the microcode update is patched in the 
factory rather than uploaded at boot? It's the same microcode in the end.

This microcode discussion is ridiculous: I'm not going to change the oil in my 
engine because I don't understand how it lubricates the crankshaft.
