Loading amd-ucode.img useless on consumer CPUs?

I read that AMD microcode from the AGESA always has a higher patch version number than the microcode supplied by the kernel. The lastest microcode version from the [linux-firmware repo](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amd-ucode/README) the latest version for family `0x19` are:... #support

If I have a Ryzen 3900x, how would I go about checking this for myself? I can see the patch_level (0x0a50000d) in my journalctl but not sure which family I should be looking at. It doesn’t seem to appear anywhere in that list you linked though.

The family is printed in the kernel log: [ 0.380496] smpboot: CPU0: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor (family: 0x19, model: 0x21, stepping: 0x2)
