They still do that. Same with the POWER servers: you can buy one with "2 CPUs" that actually has more and then enable additional ones "on-demand".

How do they activate them on demand? Does it require phoning home?

Not sure, could also be just some locally checked license key you get from them if you buy the upgrade.
