No generic chip-average or predecessor score.","game_fps_measured":"Added FHD built-in Arc 140V rows use manual 30 W mode, not default AI engine 17 W. Exact presets/AA/AF retained. Cyberpunk explicitly states FSR off. Per-run power source and unknown ray-tracing/frame-generation/other upscaling states remain absent. Strange Brigade 29.5 is P1, not minimum. Different from existing Windows Central XeSS 1.3 Auto tests.","battery_runtime_measured":"Added observed Cyberpunk FHD Ultra 150 nits 1 h 45 min is the fastest manual 30 W mode.

Earthworks M23R and Arta at 15 cm, ambient 24.7 dB(A). Gaming noise fluctuates 37.3-41.4 in this mode, stored upper observed value.
