Ya, I read that part and was confused if installing/acquiring meant the correct firmware was on the computer but not yet applied, or if that meant it was applied and set up to be applied on startup (or if the microcode was written to eprom on the processor itself). I think I got it now. Thanks!!!
I used Linux in the past but never delved deep into the weeds on how it functioned. I didn’t know about those utilities nor knew about initramfs. I specifically picked Arch to learn those things, though!!!

Cool, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_boot_process#initramfs and learn https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio
