The dual core Atom C3338 is the only processor listed on Intel’s formerly Denverton page, with now info about the 16-core Atom C3958 processor so far.
The board is said to support Windows Server 2016, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.1, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Fedora 22, and CentOS 7.1. The board is sold with an I/O shield and a quick start guide. There’s no word about pricing or availability on the product page, but Anandtech reports that the “board is essentially ready to go, and interested parties should get in contact with their local reps”. For reference, SuperMicro A2SDI-H-TP4F-O board based on the same processor is sold for $820+ on Atacom.
