Assuming one had the Knowledge to both Modify the bios (to update/change the cpu microcodes), and the skills/tools required to desolder and resolder a BGA chip (I did a handful of Xbox 360 Reballs on the GPU/CPU).
Just need to confirm that the package reported in CPU-Z refers to the bga layout. So any 1440 FCBGA Cpu chips should have the same layout correct? Im planning to swap out an Intel Core i5-9300H to an Intel Core i9-9980HK (found a bunch of them at a pretty good price for 8 cores).
My laptop averages between 60 and 80c (Under Heavy Load and Max Turbo of 4ghz) depending on external temperatures. To combat this I plan to switch to liquid metal cooling, and replace the fans. As the MAX TDP on both chips is the same I'm not really worried about power related issues.
TL;DR:
From a purely technical aspect, Can you swap a laptop cpu for another of the same socket type.
