"Intel has not specified the TDP of its new processors" Left out the one piece of info I was most interested in.

Why Linux in particular?
FreeBSD would work too. When talking about low cost computers adding a $120 Microsoft fee kind of defeats the purpose.
If, the Goldmont offer a decent IPC improvement, this could very well fit 90% of Office PC use case. Despite being lower price, it could offer higher margin for all parties.

What is the threshold you're looking for? I know the principle engineer of this project and may be able to give a yes/no answer on whether the part is at/below.

OEMs don't pay a $120 fee to Microsoft. I have seen quite a few laptops online where getting Linux pre-installed is actually more expensive than getting Windows. You can get them without OS, but then good luck getting everything to work.
Another platform for which to overcharge customers and OEMs by $70-$120 by using the names "Celeron" and "Pentium", for what is essentially a $30 mobile chip. And they use the name "Lake" in there, too, to make people think it has anything to do with the Skylake and Kaby Lake platforms (which it doesn't from a CPU point of view - Intel stopped using the Core architecture for Celerons with the Haswell version). When I…
This is the reason why Intel can charge anything the market is able to bear. Phones, tablets, laptops, convertibles, and servers are all power-constrained. The remaining market suitable for AMD does not look too good.

A lot of people don't even know what Pentium or Celeron is.. And the ones who do will propably check online reviews ;)

Ideally < 5 watt so it can be fanless
Given Core Y can be cTDP'd down to 3.5W, Apollo Lake would be completely pointless at more than 5W.
