Let me shove 60 of these into 4U, 10gbit to each blade, redundant switches in the chassis itself with multiple 40gbit uplinks, and give each blade m.2 slots instead of 2.5" drive slots, and let me shove 64gb of memory into each blade.
If AMD can't get a vendor to build these this year, I don't see a future for AMD.
Yes, and I'm aware this is probably 6000w peak into 4U.
Edit: You can downvote me all you want, but this is what Intel is already planning on rolling out through Dell and HP in the 2015 time frame. This much has already been reported on links that hit HN's front page.
I find AMD's ownership of Seamicro confusing, especially since they still sell Intel CPUs. Also, those are not server Atoms and very old.
Most likely what future systems will look like will be clones of HP's Moonshot chassis (which that is a clone of Sun's Thumper, doing blades instead of HDDs).
