The only thing that makes me wonder is that on said page Freescale makes it sound as if the e5500 never existed:
It's called marketing, it's not meant to make sense

I'd rather think it's the e5500 core they enhanced to realize the e6500 core
Sounds like they've taken the e5500 and added in a second thread and AltiVec.
Then they stuck a load of them together and bolted on a monster 6MB cache.
Sounds pretty much like where the G5 would have gone next.
