Will there be a Meltdown/Sceptre microcode update for Dell XPS 8500?

I have patched my XPS 8920 Bios with 1.0.15 but I have not found a similar Bios patch for my XPS 8500.  The earliest XPS 8xxx updates in the table are for 8700.  Any chance that our XPS 8500s are going to get a Meltdown/Sceptre patch?  Or are the XPS 8500s considered too old to bother with?

Thanks so much for this!

 

And thanks Dell for the update! I'll install it later today :)
