The Intel Compute Stick is a single-board computer designed to be used in media center applications that was developed by Intel. The computer, according to Intel, is designed to be smaller than conventional desktop or other small-form-factor PCs, while keeping comparable performance. Its main connector, an HDMI 1.4 port, along with a compatible monitor (or TV) and Bluetooth-based keyboards and mice, allows it to be used for general computing tasks.[3]
The small form factor device was launched in early 2015 using Atom Z3735F power-efficient processor from Intel's Bay Trail family, a SoC family that was predominately designed for use with tablets and 2-in-1 devices. The processor offered 1.33 GHz processor base frequency and a maximum RAM of 2 GB.[4] This was sufficient for home entertainment usage and light office productivity as well as thin client and digital signage application.[5]
In mid-2015 it was announced that second generation versions of the Compute Stick would feature advancements on the Bay Trail framework through application of Core M processors in the form factor. The new devices (due Q4 2015) allow Intel to introduce additional processing power as well as 4 GB memory for "more intensive application and content creation" as well as "faster multi-tasking".[6]
