So I have a laptop and there's the Intel Pentium n4200 in it, but it is slowly pissing me off, I've tried everything possible to somehow boost the shock but slowly to my limits can't play properly and therefore wanted to ask if the Intel Core i3 540 fits on the socket where the Intel Pentium is usually on it, if so I would change that
No.
The Intel Pentium n4200 has the socket type: FCBGA1296
The Intel Core i3 540 has the socket type: LGA 1156 (Socket H)
And even if you get a different processor with an FCBGA1296 socket, you may have to do a BIOS update so that the new processor is recognized. Unfortunately, laptop motherboards are rarely updated.
The Pentium N4200 has a BGA socket, which means that the chip is completely soldered to the mainboard (if you want to know exactly, BGA stands for Ball Grid Array and means that the processor simply consists of small balls instead of pins on the bottom The processor is completely "fused" or soldered to the socket. This is practically impossible to undo without damaging the processor and / or the socket.)
In addition, an i3 540 that is also 10 years old would not bring you any noticeable advantage. He will have to struggle with current requirements just as much, so you will hardly get around a new computer.
And then you would need a lot of industrial equipment to remove the Pentium soldered on the mainboard and solder a new processor into the socket without damaging the socket.
BGA (Ball Grid Array) stands for soldered socket.
