RFID chip on Intel Skylake-X processors - why?

WARNING! The global process of shuffling people through Reptilian! The trailer for this is the presence of an RFID chip on Intel's Skylake-X processors! Let's go to the ground ... Why Intel uses this kind of design solution?

Water on the mill of conspiracy theorists and people who believe in reptilian dominance on Earth. It turned out that Intel, in its latest CPUs from the Skylake-X family, places a small RFID chip (Radio-frequency identification). For what? RFID is a kind of automatic radio frequency identification system using radio waves. On a small electronic system, some data is encoded and the receiver / transmitter is placed. Radio waves read and transmit data to a specific source. The entire system is powered passively through the transmitter antenna.

Processors Information ROM (PI) (Processor Information ROM) looked closer to the YouTube user der8auer nickname. The Intel® Skylake-X RFID chip is placed in the corner of the layout. It is rumored to be inactive because Intel was supposed to block communication on the chip-transmitter line. Certainly stores some information, but because of the lock, you can not read this information. Due to its small chip range, its remote activation for longer distance does not seem likely. This type of chip is usually used in anti-theft stores. Most likely, it can be removed from the processor without any consequences for its correct operation.

It is good to know that these are not the first Intel processors that use this PIROM chip. This solution has been used on select processor models for nearly 20 years and is intended to provide information about the type of processor to those who choose to connect to it via the SMBus bus.

For new Intel processors, the SMSbus bus was blocked, which prevented any communication with the chip. The purpose of RFID placement remains a mystery that must be resolved by Intel.

Embedded RFIDs in processor and memory chips do not have to have readable data in order provide a "service". These things are extremely small and although they are often incorporated into the chip layout they can also be set into the plastic casing of items such as USB keys, SD cards or just about anything else. Anyone wanting to locate a piece of equipment tagged in this way just needs to sweep for an RFID return. If it has not been screened it can be found.

Shuffling people through Reptilian?? Apart from horrible English, that is just preposterous. Ok, I realize now that I skimmed through the article too quickly. You don't actually believe in any reptilian conspiracy nonsense I take it.
