Yep. Those were originally Itanium-only, so their success was somewhat… limited, compared to IBM's "we're backwards compatible to punch cards" mainframes.
Only recently did Intel start to port over the mission critical features like CPU hotswap to Xeons, so they can finally let the Itanic die, so we're hopefully going to see more x86 devices with mainframe-like capabilities.
