On PC platforms, ACPI tables are some mix of static and dynamic data. There's a table for CPU information, and you don't need to flash your firmware everytime you change your CPU, but you do sometimes. PC firmware generally does a PCI scan before booting an OS, and I think some of that ends up in ACPI tables too.
