Dual Xeon x5660 upgrade

[LucianoAGV]

I have a server/workstation running on dual Xeon x5660 (HP Proliant ML350 G6) and would like to upgrade it to the most recent Xeon. Sockets are FCLGA1366, but I cannot find any relevant info about the latest Xeons that could fit in them. The only option I saw was Xeon x5690, but it seems outdated and I don’t know if this series has been succeeded by a new series compatible with this socket. HP’s website is outdated as well, so any insights are greatly appreciated.
