[T0biasCZe]

I have Sony vaio notebook mentioned in the title, and it has removable Intel Pentium B980 in G2 socket.
Can the CPU be replaced with more powerful one of the same architecture/with the same socket?

Maybe.

The motherboard BIOS has to allow it, as well as the cooling situation.

If Imma be honest, my dude, just get a new machine, Sandy Bridge is slowly going the way of Core2. Soon to be completely unusable for most tasks.
