Hello,
I have a Lenovo G780 Laptop and it has a Intel Pentium b960.
I don't get the performance that I would like to see.
So that's why I'm asking if it would be possible to replace the CPU with a better one.
That's my question.
Any help is appreciated.

Before you start shopping around for a new one, know that some laptops have soldered-in cpus. Some are even made non-replaceable. Now as for yours it is replaceable. Although there are limitations.

- Your chipset is HM76
- Your bios is only compatible with certain cpus
(Here is the link for your compatible CPUs)

NOTE: This WILL void the warranty of your laptop and it is a lot more difficult to change a laptop CPU than a Tower CPU.

With this much restriction it would be better to instead build a tower pc on a budget or simply buy a newer laptop. Be careful with the components if you try to change the CPU as it will void...
