WS X299 SAGE/10G BIOS 3901 - Does this address Intel Downfall

[DarrynRogers]

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone knows whether BIOS version 3901 for the WS X299 Sage motherboard addresses the recently announced Intel Downfall vulnerability. The release note mentions "Update CPU microcode for Intel security issues." but theres no further details that I can find.
