Any low priced power efficient quad cores matching Jaguar?

Guys, we don't even know all his specs. And he can't seem to access them without his brother's permission.

OP, go to your brother and tell him that you need admin permission to get the computer specs. You might have to open up the case and look at the wattage of the power supply and how many amps are supported on the 12V rail(s).

Then, once you have the wattage and amp information, go to the Video Cards sub-forum and ask for a new graphics card. Include your budget and previous PC hardware.
 
Pure CPU wise, any Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge or Haswell will blow away Jaguar, including an i3.

Graphics wise, pretty much all the modern integrated GPUs are limited by memory bandwidth. XBOX One uses only 2133MHz DDR3. You can do much better than this on Haswell. Of course its best to eliminate the memory bandwidth bottleneck entirely with a discrete GPU, or wait for a socketed version of Iris Pro, with the on-chip cache reducing the effect of that bottleneck.

However, the XBox One has a 256 bit memory bus; this is the equivalent of a quad-channel interface on the desktop. To match that speed with Haswell's dual channel memory, you would need 4266MHz(!) memory.

Of course, the eDRAM cache in Haswell GT3e boosts the bandwidth well past that, but only for data in the cache. And the XBox One has a 32MB SRAM buffer integrated into the SoC, with explicit developer control on which data is stored in the cache...
