The Intel Compute Stick is a single-board computer 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]
