Hello. I'm doing some research for upgrading my CPU.
Currently I have an I3-2350m (sandy bridge) pga988 CPU, on asus x44h with k84l motherboard.
On the socket it says pga988. (I opened it for cleaning/changing thermal paste earlier)
I want to buy an i7 cpu.
I have found on ebay some i7-cpus.
http://ark.intel.com/products/53464/Intel-Core-i7-2640M-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz
http://ark.intel.com/products/71458/Intel-Core-i7-3632QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz - rPGA 22 nm
I have learned that it has to have same Llthography (32nm) and same TDP (35w).
I'd be intreasted in some other(or better) suggestions.
I have checked with cpu-z, and it says rPGA 988b. That means it G2 socket.
But I can't actually find the difference between ppga988, fppga988 and pga988, and that those are compatibile and if it shoud work, if I make the upgrade, or if I risk to break anything.
I cant seem to find any precedents because my laptop seems to be some limited edition, and it's not very popular.
May I get some advices please?
(sorry for my english, it's not my native language)
