Sometimes, sometimes not. Intel manufactures several in the industry, generally Compaq or IBM buy the naming rights, the 3040 and 5148 are what (intel calls) 'step codes' - it's basically a way to BUY Intel's product even if Compaq or IBM have renamed them, the ones that Intel sell are 'generally' way cheaper than that of IBM and Compaq/HP. The codes mean something else as well which is way above my head.
Sometimes they will make the chips specifically for certain servers, yes. But generally 'NO'
Hopefully that's not a cloud-O-dust.
