I want to ask if the Penumbra series will run on a playable and consistent framerate on a medium to high setting (this you can't assume from minimum system requirements) on a AMD A4 apu processor.
This is considering I don't have a computer to play the game with.
One thing about the demos is that they don't offer enough content to experience the true quantity of models and lighting effects throughout the full game.
One problem with this sort of question is that if we allow them, we'll get thousands of them. There are tons of games and tons of computer configurations. We can't possibly host a question for each combination, much less answer them all, much less answer them all well.
The obvious solution is to make it more general; something like How can I check if my computer's powerful enough to run a certain game?
Now you might think it's different since you don't have the computer, but not really. Can You Run It just compares the specs of your computer to the minimum/recommended specs for the game. You can easily do that yourself; look at the game page in Steam, or on the box, or just do a web search for the specs of the game.
If that's still not good enough and you're interested more in someone's experience running the game, you run into some other problems:
SE isn't a good place for such localized questions, and people are likely to view it as uninteresting. Who wants to dig up the specs for someone else's game/computer? It's easy enough to learn how to estimate what the specs of a computer will let you do, so that's what I advise you to do.

Ergo, we don't need these questions, and, speaking for myself at least, don't want them. They are the convergence of shopping advice, general reference, and too localized.
This kind of question has been historically shut down with a "play a demo; not enough people have your hardware to make the question generally useful."
So... ask on chat... or go play the demo... or "arrange" one. :)
