Do you have a rework station and extensive knowledge and experience with BGA sockets? Because the cpu is BGA and soldered to the motherboard.

Hello.

The issue isn't with the socket...it's more that the motherboard or bios might not support another processor without issues.

If you're really desperate for a less than 20% increase in power, you can try a i7-640m. These sell on ebay for around 60$.

It is the exact same package as your CPU. But, it is in no way guaranteed to work, nor has anyone tried it as far as I know.
