Raspberry Pi 4 replacement (lemm.ee)

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?

How would an i5 6500T compare to a mini pc with an N100 or N305 like the beelink?

I’m serious debating if I should get a beelink (or equivalent) with an N100 and 16GB ram or go for an Optiplex with an i5 6500T and 8GB ram. Both are about the same price where I am located.

Im mainly interested in power usage and performance and not so much in upgradability.

I have a zx01 or something like that from AliExpress with an N100 and 16GB. Those little machines are seriously impressive. It's running Garuda and my son has not complained once about any game he's tried to play. I don't play games, I just bought it on a whim cause it's tiny and $150 or so. I've run several systems on it without a hitch. I'm pretty certain it'll hose a Minecraft server without an issue.

Thanks. I’ll check them out, with taxes they are unfortunately hard to get at $150, more like $225-250. Really want something more powerful than a Pi4

The 6500T is fairly slow, so the N100 is a tad faster.

But compared to a Pi4B the N100 should be a beast no?
