you must mean the Intel Atom x5-Z8300 1441 MHz (4 cores) based Intel Compute Stick 2016. Probably, in Geekbench 3 terms, 700 single core, 2000 multicore. Not even double the host used as monitor. Don't you think we could find something better? ; )

I have the thingie for you ; )
Firefly (with) RK3399. This baby sports a CPU that is the de-facto flagship of Rockchip, which boasts - again in Geekbench 3 parameters handy for comparison - a 1350 single core and 3250 multi core. In terms of the almost-past Onyx base boards, that's 5 times the performance using a single core and a dozen times when moving all the actors!
This single board computer does not look portable out of the box - but the "Yundoo Y8 (Rockchip RK3399) TV Box", for example, does... Now, all you need is a good portable battery to power it: I think the Samsung Chromebook Plus - also using the RK3399 - is stated to offer 9 hours of "average" use with its 39Wh battery, and it has a 2400×1600 LED display to feed through it...
Oh, by the way, I found
this - apparently a database of the Mini PC on the market...
EDIT 2: but I see that also nicer "Intel sticks" like the
Intel Core m3-6Y30 Compute Stick exist... In MacBooks, mean 2650 single and 5150 multi... Nice... I wonder how power efficient it is... This really replaces your desktop, and yes it could be attached to your HDMI receiver and open the portal to flooding light...
