Passmark shows many varieties of Core i3, i5, and i7 CPUs. Some of them, even at similar prices, are much faster than others.
However Dell only offers a few options, and they're not the fast ones.
For example, Dell offers the Core i5 650 (benchmark), which costs $220, and doesn't come close to the performance of the Core i3-2100 (benchmark), which costs $120.
Does anyone sell systems with the faster, cheaper chips?

What @DanielBeck said. You should also be aware that ix-2xxx series processors are BRAND NEW hence not many people selling them. – Shinrai – 2011-03-12T00:22:28.183
