Checking stepping code for matching CPUs

I am in the process of sourcing a second processor and wished to ensure that the two processors have the same stepping code.

I have found the info available on my system thus:-

However my supplier is telling me:-

Please make sure you have the same cpu stepping code as shown SR207

I cannot reconcile these data. Please can somebody advise.

I read and re-read this, but I fail to see the connection with the Network/Internet sub-forum this is started in.

From: SR207 (Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3) -> Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 - CM8064401831400 / BX80644E52620V3

“Processor number E5-2620 v3”

From your post

“Version: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz”

Moved to “Hardware”.

Hi Paul,
I should have read on. Found it before but was confused by the “SR207.” Too quick to ask but many thanks.

Budge

Many thanks Henk. My mistake.
