I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 8GB of RAM, and I’m looking for a bit more powerful solution that would have similar power consumption. I would like to host a Minecraft server, but chunks take too long to generate. Do you have any recommendations?

    Yeah, thin clients are the way to go, but tgey will draw more than 5-7 Watt under load.

        My Futro S740 with an J4105 CPU consumes up to 14 Watts according to this article. It is faster than a rpi 4b plus i bought it refurbished for 40€. I think a system with an I5 6500t will need even more power under load.

          Well, yes, but it’s also more powerful. If it’s twice as powerful as a pi, it will only be half as long under load for a given amount of computation and thus require less power overall.
