What this item is

The Intel Xeon Gold 6138 (20c) is a Skylake-SP-generation processor on the LGA3647 platform. We POST-verify every working pull on the bench before payment — tray chips and system pulls are equally welcome. Recent server generations and high core counts move quickest through refurb and homelab buyers; only a bent pad or damaged socket turns a quote into a decline. Common part numbers include SR3B5.

Questions

How much is a Intel Xeon Gold 6138 (20c) worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $15-$22 per unit in used working condition, with the firm number emailed within 4 business hours of your quote request. The range moves with the market — the Payout Index shows what we actually paid over the trailing 30 days.

Do you buy tray CPUs or only retail?

Both — tray chips and system pulls are fine. Every working pull is POST-verified on our bench before payment; new tray stock earns a 10% premium over the working-pull price shown.

What kills a CPU quote?

Bent pads or socket damage — those we decline politely because they cannot be resold as working parts. Thermal paste residue and normal pull wear are completely fine.

How fast do I actually get paid?

Zelle or PayPal within 48 hours of test completion; typical mail-to-money is 5-7 days end to end. Your quote locks before you ship, and if the market drops after we quote, we pay the quote anyway.
