Mario Galaxy does run pretty well in some areas, but not all. That is also without LLE audio and other settings for accuracy which are needed for proper game sound and for passing certain areas. So, while my results are accurate, they are a bit misleading when you take into account the entire picture of what you really need to run the game properly. Don't go out and buy this CPU and expect to run the game well.
Oh, I took into the account of no LLE XD That would be suicidal for that FPS counter XD
Seeing a laptop A6 running even that well however, even in just those areas, is still quite impressive. Ill keep my Thuban, lol, Im not gonna go buy myself an A6 APU, running currently with my CPU and my GTX 460 lol.
I cant wait for Kaveri benchmarks still...
Yeah, I just had to clarify anyway. To the untrained eye it might have looked like my CPU was capable of running Mario Galaxy decently well, and that's not really the case at all. When I posted those screenshots, I knew that the regulars here would know exactly what was going on without having to explain, but when I saw your comment, I could see how those screenshots could possibly be misinterpreted. As far as the other games, though, if one were to do exactly what I did and have their laptop heavily overclocked and slightly
modded, they can run those other games very well. I do not suggest that anyone actually do that, though. Tearing apart laptops and heavily overclocking is not something I'd suggest the average person do.

Awesome job on that laptop! But yeah, untrained eyes might have been confused, lol.
Ever considered making a cusstom cooling system/heat pipes for your laptop? Of course, that laptop might not be worth that much time, but its an interesting topic.

It's probably not worth the effort. Not only that, but there is no room inside the case for anything else.
