Would/Could these chips end up in the single cpu MPs? Do they support Thunderbolt? I am struggling to find any concrete information.

They are Xeon versions of the latest Core i5 and Core i7 processors. Basically the same as those found in the new iMacs, but with ECC memory support. They won't be used in the Mac Pro - the highest end of these will almost be as powerful as the bottom end of the upcoming LGA 2011 processors.
