No, all ICE-T-series have this as well.
@weero: Usually all IC-trains in Switzerland (which don't cross the border!) are either double-decker or "push-pull-train sets" with a business-compartment in the coach next to the locomotive. ICN-trains have power-points as well.
You really need to have bad luck to travel on an old train replacing an Intercity
