I've been fed adverts for it now, leading to this product page at Mouser:

http://www.mouser.co.uk/new/Intel/intel-joule/

Pricing starts at around £150 per unit.

I see this as Intel gradually moving back towards what they know. Their 
embedded boards don't really seem to have been widely picked up, at least in 
the hacker/hobbyist mainstream (although maybe the Arduino 101 really has sold 
well), and what started with a higher-end Arduino competitor employing a 
Pentium-class CPU (Quark) became a 500MHz Atom-based product (second 
generation Edison) that has now led to this 1.5GHz Atom-based board (Joule).
