Its a dev board; not really something you'd use in production. Its a small run of reference hardware for devs to get started on; by the time its ready for release OEM's will have much more affordable kit for end users to buy.

It'd be nice to have an idea of how affordable it would get. For now, the $3000 dev kit is the only solid price we can work with...

  For the motherboard+processor I would predict at most $200 for the quad core and $350 for the 8-core version.

    If you're talking motherboard + processor... They'd have to do better than that to beat Intel Atom. http://www.serversdirect.com/Components/Motherboards/id-MB4696/Supermicro_A1SAM-2750F_uATX_Intel_Atom_C2750_20W_8-core_System-on-Chip?gclid=CJ-8toDm7b8CFcZQ7AodaywAdw http://www.serversdirect.com/Components/Motherboards/id-MB46... Oct-core Atom, Integrated IPMI, 4xGBe ports for $360. And since it is an x86 platform, you don't have any software migration issues.

      That's my point of comparison. Best case, if Seattle can be slightly faster than Avoton with better I/O and the customers get high on ARM hype, AMD could charge at most the same price as Avoton. Most likely it will be cheaper.

  It's not a solid price, I don't think I've ever seen a dev board for less than 5X the price of a product.
