Ahh, you've mistaken
I'm talking about these:http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollecti...x?series=42926

Just got a Xeon 5620

I can under volt if i want extra low energy consumption.
Its power consumption is 80w at original voltage. While at the same time its performance is probably better than the similar core i7 920 at 130w

Xeons are quite hard to get, but if you get one within your price range, I will definitely recommend one
