Yes, I have a screenshot of earlier in the year when it was listed in the Intel S-SPEC finder, so it's a real cpu, for sure, but not available in retail currently, and only direct from Intel. So they definately have a bin for this chip.
But like I said, they can name a cpu whatever they want. Many E8500/E8600 are capable of those speeds. It's no big deal.
Given that the pic showed up from someone ordering a tray of XE chips, it was a freebee thrown in.

First showed up on intel site in January, so no, this was not April fools joke as many mention.
