For the motherboard+processor I would predict at most $200 for the quad core and $350 for the 8-core version.

If you're talking motherboard + processor... They'd have to do better than that to beat Intel Atom.

Oct-core Atom, Integrated IPMI, 4xGBe ports for $360. And since it is an x86 platform, you don't have any software migration issues.

That's my point of comparison. Best case, if Seattle can be slightly faster than Avoton with better I/O and the customers get high on ARM hype, AMD could charge at most the same price as Avoton. Most likely it will be cheaper.
