What we stock
Most server CPUs on the secondary market are pulls: processors that came out of working, decommissioned machines. They trade by exact model, meaning not “a Xeon Gold” but which Xeon Gold, since one suffix changes the socket, the core count, or both.
One wrinkle the used market learned the hard way: AMD EPYC processors can be permanently locked to one vendor’s boards the first time they boot, so Dell-locked chips are common in pulled lots. A locked CPU is fine in the right platform and useless in the wrong one. Buying, tell us what board it is going into; selling, say whether your lot is locked if you know.
CPUs usually travel with the rest of a decommission. If you are clearing whole machines, servers and chassis and the memory inside them are quoted alongside, or send the whole list and we price it line by line.
What identifies a processor
Four things separate a priced line from a guess:
- Exact model
- Not "a Xeon Gold" but which one. A suffix change moves the socket, the core count, or both.
- Spec code
- Intel parts carry a five-character S-spec on the heat spreader that resolves the exact variant. Include it when you have it.
- Vendor lock
- AMD EPYC can be permanently locked to one vendor’s boards the first time it boots, so Dell-locked chips are common in pulled lots.
- Quantity
- Per model. Matched trays quote differently from mixed pulls.
Only have a photo of the heat spreader? Send that — the model and spec code are printed on it.
