I have an alienware m17x r2 with an i7 820 and a new xps with an i-7 2670qm. I want to swap the two processors. Is swapping the two possible?
 
Solution
not possible, the 820qm use PGA988 and the newer 2670QM use FCPGA988 (even if they have the same number of pin, they're not in the same position so that will not fit)
