Intel's Xeon E5 series of server CPUs have found a new home in the iBuyPower Professional Series P900DX and the Professional Series P500X Workstation PCs.

The former has two E5 CPUs of up to eight cores each, plus third-generation PCI Express support. The starting price is of $3,699 (2,922.26 Euro).

Meanwhile, the P500DX gets Intel Xeon E3-1200-V2 CPUs and a starting price of $1,229 (970.92 Euro).

Basically, the P900DX is a hardcore piece of machinery for tough workloads, while the P500DX is less mighty but lower on energy demands and more accessible to small and medium businesses. This page is where prospective customers have to go if they are entertaining the idea of buying either of the systems. There are other workstations there too, both cheaper and more expensive, and each of their prices will change according to hardware options.
