HP IPF systems code names

The below list can be found on the HP "IPF (Itanium Processor
Family) Diagnostics and Utilities" CD-ROMs.  I got mine of the
latest release known to me.

Apparently "XPeak" is the internal code name for IPF, or
certainly more than just "Integrity" at HP; as it appears
that several "Itanium workstation"-class systems, like the
zx2000 and zx6000, are included as well.

I also see a bunch of model numbers that don't ring a bell,
or of which I've never heard nor seen anything.  Notably
the zx2600, zx8000 and the rx1640.  The first sounds like
they're referring to the zx6000, although that one was
mentioned also.  The zx8000 sounds very interesting: the
successor for the zx6000?  Lastly, the rx1640 sounds like
a 1U, possibly with a 9100- or 9300-series processor?  (SD
stands for "Superdome" I presume, where I guess "A" must
stand for the first Superdome and "B" for the Superdome 2.)

Strange that the rx2800 i2 isn't included in the list and
neither is the earlier pre-"Itanium 2" HP i2000.  Maybe
that's because both systems aren't based on the zx/sx
chipsets?  (So, perhaps "XPeak" is a codename for the zx/
sx chipsets instead of IPF?)

The rx2620 is strangely enough mentioned twice, once with
one of its codenames sadly misspelled ("Couger").

With regard to the above: My guess is that one of the two
listed instances of the rx2620 is based on the "Madison"
or "Madison-9M" processor and the other on the "Montecito"
(9000-series).

What I also wanted to point out, that neither Wikipedia nor
OpenPA.net seem to list or otherwise mention these codenames,
which makes it the more interesting to me.

I could literally find only a handful of references on the
internet, where one of the codenames (for the fairly common
rx2600) was mentioned.

Here[*]'s something very interesting I found, which sure
looks like a leaked internal document from 2004 of HP, with
a 3D solids modeled rx2620 picture inside, outlining many
of the new features and differences between the rx2620 and
rx2600.

It also points to a secured area on the HP site:

	"HP Integrity rx2620 Server (Badger Peak) Internal
	Web Site:
	  o  <http://gstl.rose.hp.com/projects/badger_peak/>
	  o  Authorization Required"

An addition to the above list: I was just told (many thanks to the
person who just informed me) that "Sentosa" is the codename of the
rx2800 i2.
