On a second machine (a Haswell laptop) I get:

Oct 23 15:16:38 localhost kernel: CPU0 microcode updated early to revision
0x1c, date = 2014-07-03

which might suggest that mine has the same CPU as yours, so that this is
indeed the latest internal version date for the microcode - (which makes me
feel a little easier seeing you get the same as me!)
