Product overview
This is the HPE Xeon 6740P 2.1GHz 48 Core alletra 42X0 Server CPU, order code P78691-001. A processor upgrade is constrained by socket, chipset and BIOS revision, and a mismatched stepping will not post. This part is 48-core. We check the platform's supported-CPU list against your service tag before quoting.
Tell us the deadline you are working to and we will say whether it is achievable before you commit to it internally.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
P78691-001 is what is quoted and P78691-001 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
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 P78691-001 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in HPE 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 P78691-001 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.
