I had quite a lot of trouble mapping this a long time ago for
intel-microcode.  I ended up using several sources including, but not
limited to: ark.intel.com, the processor specification datasheets
available at intel.com, and boot logs.  And ark.intel.com proved to not
be correct at least once from what little I recall.

So, FWIW, according to the work I did at that time:

sig 0x10661, 64-bit capable, latest public microcode update: rev 0x43
