New ME FW update utilities, any descriptions? Haswell refresh?

[Horgi]

As I see on dlcdnet today present new GUI for Intel ME FW updater:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/Z87-DELUXE_QUAD/BIOS_updater_for_4th_Gen_Intel_Corev1_5M...
(on support site linked twice in BIOS list and BIOS utilities list)
but, there is no ME FW itself.

In ASRock BIOS present new ME FW 9.1.0.1035, extrated by jjxaker here:

May by anyone know and can share news to update ME FW for ASUS MB and support Haswell refresh CPU on z87?

That's what it is for. 170** builds on the boards will update to that ME if you use USB BIOS flashback anyway. Don't worry about it too much - the new CPUs aren't even on sale yet and we can't even mention model names. Same old stuff - everyone wants to claim support if one vendor jumps the gun to try and trick customers into buying boards because they are "already compatible". Don't get too caught up in this stuff. 🙂

Should updating to 1802 for a Z87-Pro using flashback update the Management Engine? I'm still showing 9.0.30.1482 after the update.

It is strange that such an old ME driver as (9.0.30.1482) still is bundled by Asus.
Especially as Raja pointed out that many of the issues om this community are related to ME.

According to Intel, the latest ME is (9.5.15.1730) and was released back in 10/25/2013.

One may wonder when they released 9.0.30.1482
