These ex-hyperscaler parts are wanted precisely because they’re cheap cores by the tray, retired in enormous numbers by the big cloud operators.

The model (Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3), the quantity, and whether they’re tray or boxed. A pasted line from a spreadsheet is perfect. That’s enough for a real number inside a working day.
