But it is also mostly useless.  No version information in the results, and
the newest one is NOT the topmost, either.

This one is better, in that it at least has the required information, but
your browser needs to have a proper built-in RSS renderer:
http://feeds.downloadcenter.intel.com/rss/?p=483=eng

You might want to use the URL for a newer processor family, though.
E.g. for the 5000-sequence Xeons:
http://feeds.downloadcenter.intel.com/rss/?p=2371=eng

Yeah, all the distros are packaging those in some firmware-extra or
whatever package anyway.

How about:

  
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html?keyword=linux+microcode+data+file

? That, by the looks of it, appears to be a reasonably stable URL.

Thanks,
