ASUS X550DP APU/CPU Upgrade

[booze2go]

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on upgrading my ASUS X550DP .
So far I have already upgraded it with a nice SSD and 16GB of ram.

The next thing I want to do is get the best possible APU / CPU for this laptop?
Would anyone of you know what would be the fastest processor I could get that works with the laptop's mainboard?

Any input would be much appreciated!

I have done some more research and I believe the A10-5750M would be a viable option.

Do you you think the $100 for this CPU will be worth it?

I'm a developer, so I primarily use it for heavy java IDEs etc.

Are you sure that the laptop has an upgradable cpu? I am pretty sure that the cpu is soldered.
