I have a old AMD system with:

Mobo - M3A78-EM
CPU - AMD Phenom 8450 Triple-Core
RAM - 7GB

I have a new rig with i7 6800k and would like to know what are the best/highest upgrade possibilities for CPU based on my config without changing current Mobo + RAM setup?

My reason for wanting to upgrade is to run software on it like android emulators (memu , bluestacks) or SEO tools

Is this Mobo compatible with intel? If yes i dont mind upgrading to a intel processor as well

Best Regards

 
Solution
You cannot run an Intel processor, in an AMD board. The fastest, with a bios update, would be a Phenom II X6, 1090t.
