Product overview
The IBM Xeon E5-2697 v4 2.3GHz 18 Core socket FCLGA2011 Server CPU is supplied under part number 00YD968. Licensing is often counted per core, so the cheapest chip that fits the socket is not always the cheapest chip to run. This part is 18-core. Tell us what the host is licensed for and we will factor that into the recommendation.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 00YD968, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
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.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 00YD968 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will 00YD968 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. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

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.
