The 2009 date on the Microsoft driver is normal - it's just a generic Windows driver that works fine. Intel doesn't provide separate CPU drivers for download.

Your CPU gets microcode updates through Windows Update and BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer. Check your motherboard maker's website for the latest BIOS version - that's how you'll get the newest CPU microcode updates.

No action needed unless you're experiencing specific issue

Do not worry about the date.
