I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 8GB of RAM, and I'm looking for a bit more powerful solution that would have similar power consumption. I would like to host a Minecraft server, but chunks take too long to generate. Do you have any recommendations?

You can't have more calculation power for the same electrical power consumption. A thin clirnt with an i3 or i5 maybe.

luckily smaller process nodes and architecture refinements are a thing, my dude.

And which piece of consumer hardware offers more computing power (relevant for minecraft server) for the same amount of electrical power than a rpi4?

A faster CPU with a power limit applied lol

Yeah an HP Elite Desk Mini or HP Pro Desk Mini would be great.
