i have a 2010-2011ish Lenovo Ideacentre A310 which came equipped with a lowly dual core Intel Core i3-370M. i see prices dropping rapidly on older hardware, and can source a first gen i5 or i7 for next to nothing. my question is this:
as long as i stick with the same socket(G1/PGA988), and same TDP(35w), couldnt i upgrade do a quicker/better processor of the same generation? ie: the i7-640m is considerably "faster" with turbo-boost technology, despite using the same socket and 35w TDP.
any help would be greatly appreciated
