Can I upgrade core i7 to i7 3rd

[Vagabond201]

I'm using core i7 Q740 with processor is 1.73ghz.
Can I upgrade it to i73rd and processor to 2.3 or more?
thanks...!

Yes u can but i7 Q740 is a good processor for next 2-3 years.

It matters on what laptop its in. most likely its in a socket and u can upgrade it. but the laptop board needs to support it, but a 1.7ghz i7 is not terrible for a laptop. im still running a 1.9ghz athlon dual core in my laptop, which is now just used for web browsing, but that i7 shouldnt cause any lag unless ur gaming

Socket PGA988 and FCPGA988 are the same serial aren't they?
Can I change PGA988 to FCPGA988?
