intel-microcode on an AMD system with Debian question (piefed.social)

I have a system with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU running Debian 12. Today there is a security update recommended for the intel-microcode. Checking for updates reveals my system believes it needs the update, but I am not informed enough to understand why/if that is true. I managed to find a Debian article on microcode and it seems to indicate it is specific to either intel or AMD. Should I trust the system update and follow through? I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. My proficiency with Debian is likely not where it needs to be it seems.

Oh goodie! It's all better now that we'll only have to pay an arbitrary 30% more for goods from China! Whew, glad they saved the day! Long live fascicapitalism!

This exact sentiment crosses my mind on occasion while I ponder the apparent infinity that is the universe.

Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. Not mediaeval, definitely worthy.

I collect dice and have never seen this before. Is it possible you know the origin of manufacture? Like perhaps it's from a game known only in a certain linguistic region.
