I have an old laptop with a hewlett-packard 1618 motherboard.
I want to install a new CPU (with graphics chip), but do not change the motherboard.
Which would be the best CPU for this?
It won't work.
Which HP notebook model do you have exactly, and which CPU is currently installed in it?
Is a very old model with a i5 2520M. I don't exactly know the model. The manufacturer is Hewlett-Packard
It may be that the CPU is soldered to the socket and is therefore not possible.
I5-3380m with good luck
i5-2540m is the maximum, but not worth it.
i7-2960xm / 2860QM is too strong for cooling.
Note… Your CPU sits on a socket and is exchangeable.
GPU not exchangeable because it is included in the CPU.
First of all, you should first check whether the notebook CPU is soldered (socket BGA1023) or the G2 socket (also known as rPGA988B), only in the latter case can you theoretically replace it.
Suitable CPUs would be these here:

Even then, you may encounter 3 possible problems:
Even socketed notebook CPUs are difficult to operate and were often only offered as overpriced spare parts. In addition, the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge generations have long been at the EoL and are therefore no longer produced.
You may be overwhelmed by the cooling system if you replace the dual core with a quad core, there are 2 quad core i7 models (i7 3612QM and i7 3632QM) with only 35 watts TDP, but they are all Ivy Bridge models (see Problem 3).
It may be that the bios cause problems, if you replace the Sandy Bridge CPU with an Ivy Bridge CPU you may need a bios update or a modified bios.
I just meant that the new Cpu therefore also needs a Gpu
Could it be https://www.harlander.com/hp-elitebook-8560p-core-i5-2520m-2-5ghz-win-7.html then?
If so, in addition to the Core i5-2520m (with integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics), it should also have an AMD / ATI Radeon HD 5470m soldered to the mainboard. This AMD graphics solution can therefore not be replaced, but theoretically the CPU can.
If you actually have an HP Elitebook 8560p in front of you, it should in principle be https://de.empowerlaptop.com/p/hp-684323-001-motherboard/?currency=EUR
O.k… However, it is not worth changing the notebook in any case, you will not notice the "extra performance".
The only thing that really speeds up the notebook is an SSD.
Please consider that a much more powerful notebook only costs about 350-400 euro.
