they are now putting an early cpio in the intramfs that includes
intel/amd firmware that will load before linux.

If you want to use cpio to see the 2nd part you will have to use a dd
if=initnam bs=512 skip=<blocksinthefirstsection> | zcat | cpio cmd

The first part is uncompressed the 2nd part is compressed, the
microcode stuff is in front of the "normal" cpio.    lsinitrd
correctly deals with it on most oses (not all hence me knowing how to
look at it on the oses that lsinitrd does not work on).
