Cisco Processors

Renewtech supplies refurbished Cisco processors that are tested, certified, and in stock for fast rollout. Equip your Cisco UCS servers with CPUs that are fully compatible and ready to install—without tying up budget in new hardware. This keeps projects moving, extends the life of your existing hosts, and reduces environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary new production. We ship quickly across Europe and worldwide.

 

We serve companies of every size—data centres, hosting providers, SaaS platforms, manufacturers, public sector, and service organisations. Every refurbished Cisco CPU is inspected by certified technicians, validated under real workloads, and packaged for safe, simple installation. With hundreds of units on the shelf, you can upgrade nodes and add capacity without delays.

 

If you’re sizing a complete build, use the Cisco Server Configurator to match processors with memory, storage, RAID, and networking across the same platform, so your cluster lands on a consistent stepping and firmware baseline.

 

Cisco CPUs for Business Workloads

Cisco UCS platforms are designed to run demanding business workloads without interruption. Whether you’re running virtualisation clusters, large databases, analytics, VDI pools, or private and hybrid cloud environments, the processor is what determines stability and throughput. The right Cisco CPU eliminates bottlenecks, supports smooth scaling, and ensures that mission-critical services remain responsive even during peak usage.

 

Refurbished Cisco processors provide consistent performance where it matters most. With high core density, they enable efficient parallel workloads, while large cache sizes reduce latency in data-heavy applications. Their stable thermal behaviour also integrates seamlessly with UCS cooling profiles, helping maintain reliability in rack-dense environments. This makes them a solid choice for companies balancing performance requirements with energy efficiency and long-term operating costs.

 

Many businesses extend the life of their Cisco UCS infrastructure by upgrading CPUs rather than replacing entire systems. Swapping processors allows them to refresh performance while keeping existing chassis, mezzanine cards, and storage arrays intact. That approach maintains cluster parity, avoids unnecessary downtime, and saves significantly on both hardware spend and requalification work. In practice, it means you can achieve higher throughput, handle more users, and support new applications without having to rebuild your IT from scratch.

 

Intel Xeon in Cisco UCS: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze

Cisco UCS servers commonly run Intel Xeon across clear performance tiers that map neatly to budget and workload:

  • Platinum for compute-heavy and dense multi-socket nodes.

  • Gold for balanced performance in virtualisation, analytics, and large databases.

  • Silver / Bronze for essential services, backup roles, and cost-sensitive hosts.

Unsure about the differences between Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze CPUs? The Intel CPU Naming Convention Guide gives you a clear overview to help match the right processor to your Cisco server.

 

Cisco CPU Availability and Compatibility

Our Cisco processor inventory is structured to match how businesses actually plan upgrades. You’ll find everything from compact 4–8 core models for lighter workloads to 12, 16, 24 cores and higher for dense virtualisation clusters. Clock speeds in the popular 1.7–2.6 GHz range are well represented, along with legacy and current CPU families to keep mixed UCS generations aligned. With more than 200,000 items in stock and rapid access to additional units through our supplier network, you won’t have to stall a rollout waiting for a specific stepping or FRU.

 

Every refurbished Cisco CPU is checked for full compatibility before it leaves our warehouse. That means verifying part numbers against Cisco support matrices, aligning sockets with the right board, and ensuring BIOS, firmware, and memory rules are correct. In practice, the CPU you receive fits immediately, posts cleanly, and performs as expected—so you avoid wasted time troubleshooting mismatches.

 

This combination of broad stock and compatibility checks is what keeps projects on schedule. Whether you’re refreshing a single UCS rack server or balancing workloads across an entire cluster, you can move forward with confidence knowing the processor is tested, aligned, and ready to deploy.
