It'll be interesting to see the devices that come out of this, sort of a standardized blade server. I'm still looking for the PoE powered version of this for a small cluster, having a single connection for power and data. Dual NICs would give you ~50W to work with, so it would need something a lot less than the 65W TDP just for the chip. It's also discouraging to see that they tried (and ruled out) the SoCs currently on the market - I'm looking for one of those as well, something that can at least compete with the performance of my 6-year-old desktop processor. Edit: Looks like the Xeon D would do it, 45W TDP for the whole SoC - http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14nm-broadwell-soc-for-enterprise http://www.anandtech.com/show/9070/intel-xeon-d-launched-14n...
