>Since I doubt that an OEM would sell processors below the buying price (except if there was an inventory glut or the OEM really desperate) OEM probably pay a few percents below grey market prices for their processors.<

If an OEM needs to order 10% more processors than they can use in order to qualify for the next discount level, they will often do so. These extra processors are then often dumped into the grey market at somewhat less than the OEM paid for them.
