Yep, always nice to have some positive feedback. :)
Always find it frustrating reading reviews of such systems where they insist on testing them at completely unrealistic resolutions and detail settings, then bemoan the lack of performance. Its surprising what you can play even on Bay Trail...
Gave Dota 2 a go - 1080p and the default (fairly low) detail settings runs reasonably well, but not a solid 60fps.

Bit of a demonstration of how performance scales with TDP - Core M 5Y10c vs. i5-5200U in GRID Autosport. Same 2+2 die, similar GPU base and max frequency speeds, but near linear scaling in performance with TDP increase.

Minecraft...
I make note of it in the video - its just on one of the scene changes it takes a little longer to load in things and records a low number on a black screen. It varies from run to run.
Both systems running 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 and in dual channel mode.
Managed to get hold of an HD 5500 (i5-5200U) based Acer laptop and put it up against my HD 4400 one (i5-4210U).

Improvement is 18% in Unigine Heaven. Will be trying running more stuff over the weekend.
The Intel 486DX2 was a 5V chip as well, the DX4 dropped that to 3.3V and you could get socket adapters to drop the voltage so you could use them in older boards.
With regards to the OP, it certainly isn't a good or wise thing to do, but if it was only for a short period of time then you may...
GRID Autosport in Benchmark and Attract Mode now too:

Performance actually seems a bit CPU limited in some scenarios - planning on investigating a bit and posting up some info on it.
Of the i7's the only LGA2011 X79 chip that was locked was the i7-3820 - the Ivy-Bridge-E quad-core was unlocked.
But yes, I believe the Xeons are all fully locked.
BCLK overclocking on X79 isn't really the option it was on X58.
I run an E5-2687W and even setting a 101MHz BCLK on my ASUS P9X79 Pro gives an "Overclocking Failed" error on boot and resets to default. May be a way around it (I don't really overclock these days), but even then you're only going...
For those talking about Dota 2, this is it running on HD 5300 on a Core M 5Y70.

10-20fps, but that is running on just 4.5W....
In my testing its slower than HD 4200.
As you'd expect you're highly TDP bound - I've found up to a 50% performance difference from running the 5Y71 at stock settings (4.5W) vs. the cTDP 'up' mode (6W) in one graphics test. Yes seems unintuitive that a 33% increase in power can yield a 50%...
