I was not able to parse your sentence in quotes, so I can not reply to it.
It seems like you think the random stream is generated mathematically. It's not, it's based on various timing events, mouse movements, keyboard, etc. A mass market CPU would not be able to handle any of that.
You could always get the CPU random number first, then the external randomness - it would have to predict the future to do anything about it.
the microcode is updated in response to the type of RNG verification
Hu? I don't understand what you mean. What RNG verification? You would have to tune to the microcode to the specific version and settings of the OS getting the random data, including which hardware was attached.
You massively underestimate how hard this would be. Yes, perhaps the NSA could do it for a single well known adversary - maybe - I doubt it, but maybe. But it would certainly be impossible in mass.
