ASRock Rack Intros C3758D4I-4L Mini-ITX Motherboard with Atom 8-core SoC
ASRock Rack, a new division of ASRock which deals with enterprise-grade motherboards, introduced the C3758D4I-4L, a mini-ITX motherboard based on the Atom C3758 "Denverton" SoC that embeds an 8-core CPU clocked at 2.20 GHz, 16 MB of cache, and a dual-channel DDR4 integrated memory controller supporting up to 256 GB of ECC memory, topped off with a 25W TDP. These specs lend Denverton quasi-enterprise credentials. The C3758D4I-4L can be used for low-cost rack-mount web-servers, or even high-end DIY NAS or home-server builds.
The C3758D4I-4L comes with a factory-fitted fan-heatsink cooling the pre-installed Atom C3758 BGA SoC. The board draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power connectors (including a 4-pin connector for external 12V). The SoC is wired to four DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 128 GB of dual-channel ECC memory; and a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 slot. Storage connectivity includes a staggering 13 SATA 6 Gbps ports, five on board, eight via two mini SAS connectors. An ASPeed AST2500 provides display, legacy I/O, and remote management. The board features a staggering five 1 GbE connections with teaming, PXE, and NCSI support. The company didn't reveal pricing.

For what its worth this is the first Atom SoC I've seen with Thunderbolt support. Or at least that is what the "Thunderbolt AIC Connector (TB1)" port suggest. The TB header is located in the corner right by the CMOS battery.
I wonder if the CPU is enough for freenas/ZFS? If so killer board for the power envelope.
If it somehow had 10GBe and a PCIe M.2 slot it would be perfect.
I'm not selling the SoC, I'm selling a motherboard.
Piss poor marketing.
I can't seem to find them anywhere - but I believe the SuperMicro Atom C3000 boards are now available for sale.
