Yes.  They are proprietary NUMA implementations of both IA-32 Xeon
and IA-64 Itanium that allow all sorts of swapping, largley via a 
daughtercard (i.e., the memory comes out with the CPU on a single
board).

In reality, this is really an area where Blades are more manageable
for far less cost though.
