Again, the microcode issues included (but were not limited to) problems with the internal thermistor reporting lower-than-actual temperatures which resulted in Thermal Velocity Boost overshooting power and clock as a function of being told a colder than actual temp.
The "hotter" temperatures are likely not actually hotter at all; they're likely reporting the temperatures as they always were, but this time without the erroneous 6*C misrepresentation. I would encourage you to stop focusing on the temperatures, as that's not what was actually damaging the CPUs. Instead, focus on the fact it's now (purportedly) acting on real temperatures when making overarching clock and voltage changes, thus avoiding the damaging over-voltage issues.
