Very interested in this as well as what the T-Case will be. I'm wondering how hard it will be to cool this processor in a home (relatively quiet) server.
Don't know what the price for just the CPU is, but there are a few places with the Supermicro X10SDV-16C-TLN4F board listed for around $2200-$2300. One place I am watching is wiredzone at Supermicro X10SDV-16C-TLN4F Embedded Processor I have no idea when they will actually be in stock but I doubt the price will change much.
12 core pricing is high, 16 core is extreme! Protecting the E5 market they have.
Cheaper to buy 2 of the 8 core machines and run a cluster if it works for you licensing and application scaling wise.
Still overall Xeon-D seems the ideal platform for small servers that don't need extreme single threaded performance.

Personally, I don't think $2200 is that excessive for a 16 core, 32 thread part that also has dual 10Gb, low power, and includes the cost of the board, compared against most E5 anyway. Of course your IPC per core isn't as strong, but its strong enough imo.
