Is it possible to replace the processor in MBP 13" middle 2012?

Question

Do it yourself

I have a 13" Macbook Pro Mid 2012 with i5-3210M
Can I upgrade the processor to a better one? i7-3520M for example?
The main difficulty, as far as I understand, is that the CPU is soldered into the motherboard.
How easy is it to get it out?

Answer 1

everything can be done,
but there you also need to flash the bios,
and at a price of about 2/3 of the new mother,
see this is called processor rebalding,
although it will be cheaper to buy the same mother with a new stone for the price
