Core functionality is the same.

Original manufacturer equivalents

How to use this mapping

  • If you were quoted any of the part numbers above, they correspond to this canonical memory class.
  • OEM-qualified parts offer the highest vendor support assurance and typically cost more.
  • Original manufacturer parts often provide the best balance of cost and compatibility.
  • Compatible alternatives may reduce cost but should be verified against platform policies.

How to interpret this

  • Prices within the typical market band represent common, defensible market rates.
  • Listings near the lower bound may reflect limited stock, condition differences, or less-established sellers.
  • Prices above the typical band often reflect vendor qualification, warranty, or support premiums.

How to interpret CPU market pricing

OEM tray

Processors sold as OEM trays come without retail packaging. This is the standard channel for server deployments. Pricing reflects the chip only — no heatsink, no box. Most enterprise CPUs trade this way.

Pulled / refurbished

Pulls are CPUs removed from decommissioned servers. They are functionally identical to new trays but carry no manufacturer warranty. Common in the secondary market and priced 25–45% below new.

New vs secondary market

New OEM trays from distributors (CDW, SHI) typically price at or near MSRP. Secondary market pricing reflects real cleared transactions and is often significantly lower, especially for previous-generation SKUs.
