Intel CPU on a stick. (http://www.zdnet.com/article/ces-2015-intel-introduces-compute-stick-with-atom-quad-core-cpu/#ftag=YHFb1d24ec) Be MUMPS for less money! :D

My only issue is these sticks have the bare minimum for memory as far as I can see. Plus I wonder how much heat they would produce.

In crunching terms, it would be worth 1 thread of an Intel i7 4790K (so 1/8th). Not so bad for a max TDP of 4.4 Watts, I suppose. ;) What would interest me is how the performance and watts scale when they ditch the Atom processor make them with Core-M in the future.

Actual review on the device...My favorite quote from the article that will probably get edited out soon...
