Selling surplus Intel and AMD processors can compensate for the increased cost of server system or individual CPU upgrades. This is one reason why financially smart companies would rather sell excess CPU modules over disposing their used processors. Not only can they increase their bottom line, but they don’t have to worry about the additional expense of paying a recycler to destroy the obsolete units.
Selling excess CPUs and other retired IT equipment lets your enterprise focus on the IT assets that are critical to your success. Long gone are the days that you are paying to store your out of date processors. In spite of their age, CPUs hold their value long after their useful days; essentially turning old equipment into cold hard cash.
