Dell does not recommend or offer processor upgrade but it is as your discretion in case you really wish to go ahead with it. Warranty per say, issues arising due to the upgrade will not be covered under warranty , however we will continue providing support for other issues and parts.
Dude, this helps a lot. So even if the socket is different? I was getting confused as I read the sockets and mine is rPGA989, however, I was informed some will 988B and others will still work.
Socket G/rPGA 989 sockets can take Socket G1/rPGA 988A or Socket G2/rPGA 988B packaged processors. For more information on this, you may refer to link: http://bit.ly/Vje7Am
You might want to look at the other parameters (like power requirements, TDP) before upgrading the processors.
These sockets are confusing and I did read the same exact article. In the case of the i7 2820QM it fits socket FCPGA988. Not sure if compatible? You are a great help. I truly appreciate.
