CMCI is Intel-specific and Firmware First is a generic way to say that firmware would like to look at the errors first. AMD has similar thing called error thresholding so...
nocmcff actually refers to CMC (Corrected Machine Check) Error source which is APEI terminology, so this is not actually Intel-specific and should apply equally well for AMD. I chose nocmcff over noff since there is also a firmware first flag for MCE Error source in APEI and this option only disables FF for CMC.
