A notebook's CPU is usually soldered into the socket and cannot be replaced or removed.

you can on this one the only thing soldered in is the gpu

There is a video on YouTube with a guy showing how to upgrade the G70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4xbILQgU8Q
However he only upgrades the RAM, HDD, and WIFI card. I am highly doubtful the notebook can supply enough power to an upgraded CPU, and even more doubtful that MSI's BIOS will support any non OEM CPU. I would contact MSI, since their support is usually very helpful even with things like this. They might even make a custom BIOS for you, but I very strongly doubt that this is possible.

Look like it possible manual at
https://msi.com/product/notebook/support/GE70-2OE.html#down-manual
947 pins, rPGA Intel ® Shark Bay Haswell

but like ShakedG said, bios have to support the cpu. didn't find any info on that.
