They are professional systems featuring the 12-core CPUs

Intel's latest Xeon central processing units are the sort of thing that only enterprises could find something to use them for, given their 12 cores and high clock frequencies, and Acer and Veriton were quite fast to make enterprise PCs from them.

The two companies have introduced, officially, desktop workstations that use the new super-processors.

Acer has the Altos line of servers, configurable according to customer demands and equipped with the Acer Smart Server Manager software.

Veriton, meanwhile, has put together the P330 F2 and P530 F2 workstations, which are similarly overpowered: memory can reach 64 GB, storage can reach many terabytes, etc. It all boils down to customer orders.

It's even possible to have two CPUs in a single system, provided a dual-socket motherboard is used to hold two of those Xeon E5-2600 v2.0 CPUs. Consequently, those computers will have two GPUs as well.

The new systems are up to 50% stronger for less energy than the ones before them.
