Product overview
OSA242CEP5AL is an AMD Opteron 242 1-Core 1.60GHz socket 940 Processor. Thermal design power decides the heatsink, and the heatsink decides whether the chassis can take the processor at all. This one runs at 1.60GHz. Tell us the platform and we will quote the cooling that goes with it.
Send the service tag and we will check the BIOS level the platform needs for this processor before you buy it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against OSA242CEP5AL specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Matched pairs for dual-socket
Where both sockets have to carry the same model we quote the pair, not the single chip.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is OSA242CEP5AL genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the AMD warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will OSA242CEP5AL 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, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

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.
