Intel finally released their 16 Core CPU priced at $449 USD.
This is a low power 32W CPU belonging to the Intel ATOM family line of CPU's.
 
For more details you can read here:
Announcement with general information, was released earlier in the year: C3000 series from Anandtech
Updated article
Information from extremetech
Information from Hexus
 
Currently, there are two motherboards that I was able to find.
One from SuperMicro, and the other from Gigabyte.
 
Please note, that the server division of Gigabyte is seperate from their consumer division.
 
This news is now a week old. Will Linus make a video about its performance?
Only time will tell.
 
EDIT: Intel page.
Some sites quote it as 32W while intel quote its as 31W. Base Speed: 2.0GHz No Turbo.
Edit2:

almost as if they believe in the product they produce 

Do something about that black text though, you're killing us dark theme users.

Why bother going overkill and use that for tubbing?

bing is great, i use it everyday!  great for my 'searches' and the 'results' are fantastic. 

I don't. I scrounge old Windows keys of my dad's broken laptops or PCs I get given (They actually work too). Or I just run it without a license, all it does is disable changing the colors and give you a watermark. 

Poll would be good for this kind of question. 
 
I buy Windows, but not at retail price. I typically spend about £30 on the license. I figure it's worth at least that much for a one time purchase for the software that allows everything else to run. Security updates and support are also nice to have. Considering what you get, £30 isn't much. 
 
EDIT: Compared to professional software, Windows costs nothing. I don't see why people are so opposed to paying for it. 

I would prefer just a Material Design overhaul of the current layout. Even something like this forum looks a lot more modern , but I do agree that the current design does 100% of what everyone needs and wants besides the appearance.

Vega Yes
Threadripper Yes

i won a free dell oem ps/2 keyboard 

Intel NO

y u no material-ize the current design ffs

Tri-core Pentium and six-thread i3? Wouldn't be a bad idea. 

I am honestly not too bothered by this.
Press events are 90% marketing and lies anyway, and I am sure sites like Anandtech will do live blogs.
 
Vega doesn't look promising though, and I doubt this move will fill their fans with confidence.
 
 
Side note: I totally can't wait for the endless stream of "just wait for better drivers!" to flood every single GPU discussion if Vega ends up not being that good.
My guess is that it will either be the driver argument or the "FreeSync monitors are much cheaper!" argument that people will clutch to if Vega is a failure.

I mean, I'll be there, I could post live updates. Probably on Reddit live or Medium.

Some perspective is key.  If someone said in 2015 that AMD would be competitive in both cpu AND gpu performance by 2017 we would call them a crazy person.
 
AMD has fixed their cpu problem. Let them generate some cash, and I'm sure they can do better on the gpu front.  Cpu performance is and should be the priority as it's going to secure their future.

yes but then my postman would break it

... i want it. looks awesome

It looks like a box you'd get when you buy a boring premium headphone. 
But I'd take this over intel's packaging any day

-Lisa: I want to send a subtle message to intel.
 
-PR team: Say no more fam:
 

must be a real dilemma if he can't type it out

Pffft this 80's design looks sooo much better:

Undercover at Intel:
 

I meant EPYC, so it might as well be third and fourth. Intel makes most of it's money from the two socket server market, if AMD comes in and steals that Intel won't be viable as a company for much longer. Intel is REALLY bad at managing its money, it makes a lot of it and does stupid shit with it.

Ah man their Xeon beats a mainstream desktop cpu? Who'da guessed?
 
This is some seriously desperate marketing from Intel  pretty devious
