Yes, of course.

This is incorrect, there was no XEON E5 in 2009. The E5 nomenclature only came about two generations later (Sandy Bridge). Nehalem was actually XEON 5500 and it’s successor Westmere was the XEON 5600, both with ‘E’ prefix for the lower performance tiers and ‘X’ for the higher performance variants (plus a ‘W’ variant for workstations).

I have to poke around to sort it out, but some of it is in that pretty chart Intel gave out.

To me, it signifies Intel coming out of quicksand (process woes, mostly), back onto solid ground (at long last), with server chips that span from commodity devices (Long-Life Use, like lightbulbs), to 8S beasts, and HPC Max monsters — a great baseline to energize competition in upcoming bouts of that battle for the so elusive “Crown of the Next Platform” (eh-eh-eh!): Who’s chips of Fury will be the Shaolin Temple of computational Kung-Fu?
