That is a Socket 479 mPGA CPU.
While there are some other CPU's that will physically fit, not all are supported by all motherboards.

Discovering which ones may or may not work with your Toshiba will be a chore.

Ultimately, though...anything 'better' will not be any major change. It is what it is.

Even the slightest improvement will help me, thank you

Reading some pages, some toshiba satellites L35 are working with a T2080 1.73 GHZ cpu, this laptop looks exactly like mine https/articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-593941718-laptop-toshiba-satellite-l35-pentium-dual-core-_JM

What's the difference between the SP4068 and the SP1011?

Different CPU socket.
Yours is a Socket 479 mPGA

The T2080 in the SP4068 is a PPGA478 socket

"Toshiba L35" is a generic line. It has little do do with the exact specs and what each sub model can use.

Like cars. "Honda Civic" has evolved a LOT over the years. But retains the same name.
A 1987 Honda Civic has little in common with a 2015 Honda Civic, except the name.

I managed to find all the compatible cpus with my socket, that means only these cpus will work in my motherboard?

Probably not even all of those. Those are the ones that may physically fit.
The Toshiba motherboard BIOS and firmware also has to support a different CPU.
Discovering which ones is where the pain comes in.
