I have no idea whether my old processor is a "CoffeeLake" or a

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
The way to find out is to query the database at ark.intel.com. For
your processor it leads me to
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/33910/intel-core2-duo-processor-e8400-6m-cache-3-00-ghz-1333-mhz-fsb.html
The "CoffeeLake" and "Skylake" are processor code names. For the Core
2 Duo E8400 this is "Wolfdale" according to ark.intel.com
Do I need to worry about those microcode bugs?
Your CPU us far older than the ones affected by the microcode bug. It
does not have a code name matching one of the listed ones. I'd
conclude that your CPU is not affected.
That sounds like a very sound conclusion. And the next time I have a
similar question, I now know that ark.intel.com is the place to go.
Thanks a lot, to you and to the others who answered,
