Product overview
IBM lists 00KA890 as an Xeon E5-2637 v3 3.50GHz 4 Core socket LGA2011-3 Server CPU. A processor upgrade is constrained by socket, chipset and BIOS revision, and a mismatched stepping will not post. This part is 4-core. We check the platform's supported-CPU list against your service tag before quoting.
This part is quoted rather than listed, because the price moves with availability. Send the quantity and we will come back with a number we can stand behind.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
00KA890 is what is quoted and 00KA890 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
BIOS revision checked
We confirm the firmware level the platform needs to recognise this processor, because a chip the BIOS does not know will not post.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 00KA890 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in IBM packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will 00KA890 work in my server?
Send the service tag. We check the platform's supported-CPU list and the BIOS revision it requires, and where the board is dual-socket we confirm what is in the other socket. A stepping the firmware does not recognise will not post.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
On a training or inference node the host CPU is sized around the accelerators it feeds, not chosen on its own.
