Here is your service manual, look on page 83 for list of supported processors:

The fastest processor that was an option on that laptop is the A10-4600M @3.2 GHz per the manual. It scored 3110 on Passmark versus 1623 for the A6-4400M so should be a decent upgrade.

By the way your socket is FS1r2. The fastest processor for that socket is the A10-5750M which scored 3365 on passmark. It may work but it might not be worth taking the chance for the marginal gain over the A10-4600M.
