Is it possible to upgrade the soldered Intel Celeron N3050 processor?

Question

Iron

I have an ASUS R556S laptop with an intel celeron n3050 processor and a (discrete)
GeForce GT 920m graphics card. I don’t know what socket is in this motherboard, but I read that the celeron 3050 is for the fcbga1170 socket, can I replace the processor with a more productive one?

Answer 1

If you look only at the processor, then it seems like there should be such a Pentium format. But!
Does the bios support this cpu? If not, is there one that supports it? Are you ready to pay for the processor and resoldering the processor an amount exceeding the current cost of this laptop, and without a guaranteed result? What performance increase do you expect and is it worth all the material and time costs?
My answer is - even if an upgrade is possible, it is not worth it.

Answer 2

Theoretically, you can replace it with a four-core one, but you most likely will not feel a real difference in work.
Unless the SSD will give some kind of acceleration, and add at least 6 gigs of memory, if possible.
