Product overview
42D3788 is an IBM 2.33GHz LGA771 Xeon LV 5148 2-Core Processor. 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 2-core. Tell us what the host is licensed for and we will factor that into the recommendation.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

- Procurement sourcing a like-for-like CPU replacement under fault
- Organisations consolidating licences onto fewer, larger cores
- Teams upgrading compute inside an existing chassis rather than replacing it
What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 42D3788 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
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.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 42D3788 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 42D3788 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.
