Server CPUs

Maximize your server's potential with ServerDukan’s Certified Refurbished Intel Xeon Processors. We stock a massive inventory of Enterprise CPUs, including the popular Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 Series and the newer Intel Xeon Scalable (Gold/Silver) family.

Whether you need high-frequency chips for database performance or high-core-count processors for heavy virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), we have the silicon you need at unbeatable prices. All processors are strictly tested, cleaned, and available as Matched Pairs for dual-socket servers, backed by our 1-Month Replacement Warranty and secure shipping across India.

Shop By Generation: Find Your Upgrade

Confused about which processor fits your server? Browse by generation and socket type:

1. Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 & v4 Series (LGA 2011-3)

The industry standard for DDR4 servers. These use the FCLGA2011-3 Socket.

  • Haswell-EP (v3 Series): Cost-effective performance. Compatible with Dell PowerEdge 13th Gen (R630, R730) and HPE ProLiant Gen9. Popular models: E5-2680 v3, E5-2697 v3.
  • Broadwell-EP (v4 Series): Higher efficiency and core counts (up to 22 cores). Drop-in upgrade for the same servers (requires BIOS update). Popular models: E5-2699 v4, E5-2690 v4.

2. Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (LGA 3647)

For modern data centers using the LGA 3647 Socket.

  • SkyLake-SP (1st Gen): Compatible with Dell PowerEdge 14th Gen (R640, R740) and HPE ProLiant Gen10. Look for Gold 6100 and Silver 4100 series.
  • Cascade Lake (2nd Gen): Enhanced performance for AI and memory speed. Compatible with the same servers.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right CPU for Your Workload

Not all cores are created equal. Select the processor that matches your specific application:

For Virtualization (VMware / Proxmox)

Focus on Core Count. More cores allow you to assign more vCPUs to your Virtual Machines.

  • Recommendation: Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 (14 Cores) or E5-2699 v4 (22 Cores). A dual-socket setup can give you 44 Physical Cores / 88 Threads!

For Databases & Trading (SQL / Oracle)

Focus on Clock Speed (Frequency). Databases often license by core count, so you want fewer cores running at higher speeds to reduce licensing costs and latency.

  • Recommendation: Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 or E5-2690 v4 (Base clocks above 3.0 GHz).

Compatibility Checklist

Before buying, verify these three points to ensure the CPU will work:

  1. Socket Match: You cannot put a v3/v4 CPU (LGA2011-3) into an older Gen8 server (LGA2011).
  2. Heatsink Rating: High-performance CPUs (135W+ TDP) require "High Performance" heatsinks. Standard heatsinks may overheat.
  3. Matched Pairs: If upgrading a dual-socket server, both CPUs must have the exact same model and usually the same Stepping Code. We automatically match these for you.

The ServerDukan Quality Guarantee

Buying used processors is safe when done right. Our process includes:

  • Contact Cleaning: We chemically clean the gold contact pads to remove oxidation and thermal paste residue.
  • Visual Inspection: We verify there are no missing capacitors or physical damage to the heat spreader.
  • Burn-In Test: We run the CPU at 100% load to check stability and temperature thresholds.
  • Safe Packaging: CPUs are shipped in anti-static clamshell trays to prevent damage during transit.
