The patches are applicable to specific CPU models only, which are identified by each chip's “CPUID.” For this reason, InSpectre now prominently displays the system's processor CPUID at the top of its system summary.

Please check this page on Microsoft's website to see whether a microcode patch for your CPU, determined by its CPUID, is available at any time:

MCU Recommendations
The following table provides details of availability for microcode updates
currently planned by Intel. Changes since the previous version are
highlighted in yellow.

2
LEGEND:
Production Status:
Planning – Intel has not yet determined a schedule for this MCU.
Pre-beta – Intel is performing early validation for this MCU.
Beta – Intel has released this production signed MCU under NDA for all customers to validate.
Production – Intel has completed all validation and is authorizing customers to use this MCU in a production environment.
Stopped – After a comprehensive investigation of the microarchitectures and microcode capabilities for these products, Intel has determined to not release
microcode updates for these products for one or more reasons including, but not limited to the following:

Micro-architectural characteristics that preclude a practical implementation of features mitigating Variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715)
Limited Commercially Available System Software support
Based on customer inputs, most of these products are implemented as “closed systems” and therefore are expected to have a lower likelihood of
exposure to these vulnerabilities.
Pre-Mitigation Production MCU:

For products that do not have a Production MCU with mitigations for Variant 2 (Spectre), Intel recommends using this version of MCU. This does not impact
mitigations for Variant 1 (Spectre) and Variant 3 (Meltdown).
