Would an upgrade from the i5-3230m to the i7-3632QM?

Is about my old Lenovo G700 laptop. Have already upgraded Ram and built a SSD, so he is pretty fast again. Now that he is ever open, I wonder if the upgrade would be worthwhile. I mean 2 cores more sounds already tempting but do you notice that at Office stuff and stuff?

And how will that work? CPU and chipset are soldered firmly.

According to several sources not and the open did not look the same now

The CPU apparently does not work for once, but that would not help you without swapping the chipset, and if this would be to get as a spare part?

There are several pages that cpu benchmark test compare where you could compare how the properties are better or worse for which usage.

Personally, I would the effort (even with completely matching connections) just too high and stupid. You have certainly informed but there must be a lot of…

How much ghz does your current processor have? If it's not far below 2.0 I would not do it. If you want to do it anyway inform yourself about the design / connection (socket) and browse a lot in the internet.

Because the G700 was built from the factory with i7-3632QM, in the cooling and BIOS there's no difference, an exchange should not be a problem.

However, at Office and Co., it would bring no noticeable difference, which use only one processor core.

For example. Play, video rendering or if several power-consuming programs want to run in parallel then more processor core would be an advantage, but with many tasks your graphics would be a stumbling block…
