I still rock a Q9650 @ 3.0 GHZ that runs ubuntu and a bunch of docker apps. The majority of docker apps are handled well even when busy. The one that creates the biggest burden and is slowed down by the CPU is Minecraft. As we all know, Minecraft is single threaded so performance relies heavily on speed. The Q9650 is also a power hog at 95 TDW. The system never uses more than 6 of the 2x4 gig 1066 MT/s ram.
What I am looking for is to replace the Q9650 with something that consume significantly less power but will be higher clock speed for little money. I am thinking something ITX with the CPU already attached and ready, just add RAM. I would prefer x86 architecture (64bit) over ARM.
It really looks like there are few embedded type solutions out there.
Any thoughts?
