MSI Releases BIOS Updates To Address Recent Vulnerabilities
MSI has been working swift on solutions ever since receiving a formal notice from Intel stating that the current Intel microcode version might be subject to recently identified security vulnerabilities.
To ensure any system powered by MSI Z370-series motherboards is operating securely, Intel® and MSI have been working around the clock to prepare updated microcode and release new BIOS updates, which are now available for download. More information from Intel on the updated microcode can be found here.
MSI strongly recommends its users to update their systems by downloading and applying the latest BIOS. It is recommended to review Intel’s Security Advisory, for more information, including appropriate identification and mitigation measures.

Time for gaming and system benchmarks I guess. The BIOS update is supposed to give the big performance drop. Unless this is not the performance nerf BIOS update.

From what I have seen it's mostly related to read/write speeds of some tasks. From benches i've seen last week, fps drops are in 1-5 fps margins. And those were in cases with 180+ fps.
Personally I cap my fps in 99.9% of my games (World of tanks being an exception) at my screen refresh rate, being 100hz - 98fps cap. Due to in my case, you won't even notice it.
