Yes but the TGV is all based on 70s technology. The more modern trains (such as Siemens Velaro, Alstom AGV, Bomardier ETR 1000) are all multiple-units.

One notable exception is the Bombardier/Talgo 350 (known in Spain as "the Duck" for obvious reasons).

The TGV Duplex was developed in the 90s, and continues to be developed, the new version (avelia horizon) coming out in a couple of years. There's a reason it uses a locomotive ("powercar") concept, it relates to it being a double-decker (which all the other trains you mentioned aren't.

I believe the Acela replacement (avelia liberty) uses powercars as well.
