I haven't tried Project64 but I think the emulated Voodoo3 should support Jabos D3D6/7 backend with older versions. Was quite thrilled today to see my article blow up so if there's anything you'd want me to test I have mostly a free weekend.

But practically speaking yes, it has reasonable ST perf and my guess would be it's competitive with the best x86 chips available today for this workload.

I was really surprised that despite the laptop being bigger, the Neo seems to hit a ceiling at about 5 watts, even when running Cyberpunk 2077. The powermetrics weren't showing the consumption form the DRAM package so it might be the actual ceiling is 6 watts and the 4.5-4.7 is that budget sans DRAM power, but given the numbers I think this might be one of the most efficient laptops on the market
