在一实施例中,本发明包括一方法,该方法用于经由RFID标签通信判定系统是否兼容于该系统之硬件资源的升级或降级、若该系统兼容,自远程服务器接收指令以升级该硬件资源、以及基于该等指令编程该硬件资源。在一此种实施例中,该硬件资源可能借由使用可编程熔丝编程,以致能该硬件资源的电路。描述并主张其他实施例。

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for determining if a system is compatible with an up-binning or down-binning to a hardware resource of the system through RFID tag communication, receiving instructions from a remote server to upgrade the hardware resource if the system is compatible, and programming the hardware resource based on the instructions. In one such embodiment, the hardware resource may be programmed by use of programmable fuses to enable circuitry of the hardware resource. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
