Hi,
Is there any difference in which manufacturer CPU I am using in UCS blade?
For example, is there a difference in CISCO manufactured ucs-cpu-e52660E and Intel manufactured BX80660E52660V4 and can I mix them?
Both CPU's are identical only difference is manufacturer.

I'm assuming you know that Cisco does not manufacture Intel CPUs, and are just asking more about vendor PIDs and SKU compatibility.
Please see Cisco's 3rd party component policy at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/prod_warranty09186a00800b5594.html
While under some circumstances you might be able get the UCSM to accept a processor that has the exact same underlying Intel MFG part #, you put yourself into a potential support issue, if you try to open a TAC case.
Using 3rd party components is not recommended and in most cases, not supported.
Thanks,
Kirk...
