Are dead note and palm muting same??

Thus, dead notes can be played with palm muting!

yes, but palm muting doesn't make a dead note! That is, dead or palmed depends upon how much pressure you use and then there are other ways to make a dead note ( fretting hand damping in partic).

If you look at the notion section in that wiki entry on palm muting it still gives note values eg E F F# G etc ( albeit in tab form) to the palm muted notes - dead notes don't have a value in this way, they are just marked as x.
