This is one of the boards I saw in Taipei in October 2018 in their offices. I can confirm it is real, and that we have requested a sample. I do not know what the retail status is versus if you came to them with an order of a few hundred units.

Part of the issue with smaller companies stocking embedded boards in the US channel is that import duties include the SoC https://www.servethehome.com/how-tariffs-hurt-intel-xeon-d-atom-and-amd-epyc-3000/
