Sorry but two people have discuss about issue which processors are compatible with Socket G2 motherboard so I read this tread because one friend of mine has Socket G2 and I couldn't reply to that so I figured out I could post this if guy is lucky he would have no doubt :)

 
Hello

I currently have an acer 7745g with core i3-330m with a chipset 55 and rPGA989 socket.
I want to upgrade the CPU. I found a i7-2820qm but it is said it's FCPGA-988.

According to my research, it's 2nd gen and mine is 1st gen. My BIOS update is october 2011 and the i-7 i'm looking for was realeased in the beggining of 2011.
I also found rPGA989 works fine with 988A (G1) and 988B (G2).

Before buying the i7 cpu, I'd like more advises from experimented users since i just a noob here.

User had had problem, invest to buy i7 cpu which will fit simply trying to know ahead which one is compatible, which are not with his mainboard. As far as I know he had compatibility issue question.
This tread is old and maybe uninteresting any more 2017 :)
