The closest thing to the Xeon W-3175X, which I believe is the only CPU Intel will be releasing for this, is the Xeon Platinum 8180. Seeing as MSRP on those is over $10k and this CPU is higher clocked to start and unlocked on top of that, I imagine it will be even more expensive.

So, per my wallet, nope.

Anandtech did an article on it: here

Aside from that, it looks like it's going to be ridiculous!

I hope they make it compatible with all Xeon Scalable processors and not only the 3175X, because that would be quite stupid if you make a motherboard to be compatible for only 1 CPU!!

I mean.... Isn't that essentially what embedded systems are?

The only thing embedded about this is the amount of gold you'd need to dig up to afford it...

You do know that Intel has done exactly that before? Skulltrail was sold a single board + CPU SKU platform (D5400XS + QX9775). I don't see why anyone would want to purchase this board for anything but the intended processor. If you aren't going to be overclocking, which you wouldn't be with any other CPU, there are plenty of 3647 workstation motherboards, which can offer way more IO. Get a Supermicro X11DPG-QT instead.
