The Wyse numbering scheme here can be slightly confusing - as Dell/Wyse themselves have acknowledged. What I cover here are the original Z Class models. Subsequent to their release came the visually similar 7000 series but based on different hardware which offered dual core or quad core processors. I haven't seen examples of them yet, but the Dell/Wyse documentation indicates that there used to be the slightly confusing naming scheme of Z90D7 (old model) and the 7290-Z90D7 (new model). So a Z90D7 you see for sale might or might not be a new model depending on how lax the seller has been in his description. (See here for the new models and how Dell/Wyse have adjusted their naming scheme).
From a firmware update file I also found this table which distinguishes between 'old' and 'new' models:

Models I have seen are highlighted in red.
The information below has been extracted from an undated publicity leaflet from Dell/Wyse that is missing the usual dated copyright marking. I quick check with Google found mention of the Z class in a 2011 press release and the Z90DE7 in January 2012. In the leaflet there is also mention of "WES2009 support for SCCM-WEDM will be available in April 2012" which I guess dates it to 2011.
Note: This is for the Z class - not the 7000 series models that also carry the Z designation.
From the leaflet the Z class comprises:
Essentially there appears to be a common hardware base which is fitted with either an AMD G-T52R 1.5 GHz Processor with AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics (the S model, or a Dual core AMD G-T56N 1.65 GHz Processor with AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics (the D model). Finally we have the DE7 which is in a slightly wider case that has room for a PCIE card.
Of these I have seen the Z90D7.
