In theory you can get a new BIOS/UEFI from the motherboard
manufacturer. But linux has supported updating the microcode for a
long time (but you need to do it on every boot). All my Intel
motherboards now load newer firmware than what is in the BIOS, but
of my AMDs only the oldest (Athlon64x2) has newer firmware available
from linux-firmware.
