Socket and range settings
Socket and range settings
Google is your ally. You likely have more insight than we do since it's your computer. What I understand is that sometimes laptop CPUs use BGA technology, which means they're permanently attached to the board and can't be swapped out or upgraded.
It's a basic CPU design, but it's not feasible physically. The AGESA code compatibility for this board remains unclear, and the BIOS seems to be quite complex.
Several units used socket G3 with PGA connectors. The system is a PGA motherboard, though the BIOS only recognizes dual-core i5 processors. Updated note: your board could also handle the i7-4702MQ.
It sounds like you're excited about something. Let me know how I can help!
Only in extremely old laptops with Pentium or Core 2 Duo, or premium models featuring LGA 1151 connectors can the CPU be altered
Some computers once had physical connectors like Socket P, G1, G2, and then G3... With the Haswell era, everything switched to BGA connections.
