so i want to buy a new motherboard and cpu for my laptop. I'm looking at the 685761-501 Motherboard, but one site says the cpu socket type is "FCPGA988" and another says it is ""PGA989", are they the same? and will the "Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor" be compatiable with it? which has a "rPGA988B" socket.
 
Solution


Socket G (rPGA989) can accept either Socket G1 microprocessors (rPGA988A) or Socket G2 microprocessors (rPGA988B)

You can safely ignore the FC (short for Flip-Chip), it's extraneous.

That microprocessor should be socket and power compatible, but that doesn't mean that the firmware will support it.
