Yes, in most cases. There are some different methods for this purpose.
Adding microcode doesn't add support for new CPU.
But if BIOS already has necessary support then CPU can somehow run without any microcode.
Hello!
I've put two SL8MA processor! I think that only one Works. You need to add the microcode.
It can be solved?
Make DOS USB-stick (e.g, by
Rufus), download and unzip all files for
the modded version of CHECKUP7 to this DOS USB-stick.
Download
microcode for your new CPU, rename it to
PEP.DAT and copy (with replacement) to this DOS USB-stick.
Boot from this DOS USB-stick and make a photo of the screen with results.

I see...
Post a screenshot of
regedit with expanded key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0
Then try to boot:
1) with empty primary socket and SL8MA in secondary socket
2) with old Xeon in primary socket and SL8MA in secondary socket
3) with SL8MA in primary socket and old Xeon in secondary socket
Describe results.

OK. Microcode is loaded.
But I can't add support for 8 thread
