There are lots of "Core i" CPUs, but Dell only offers a few -- who builds systems with the others? [closed]

Passmark shows many varieties of Core i3, i5, and i7 cpus. Some of them, even at similar prices, are much faster than others.

But 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?
