CPU change on latitude E6220
Hello all,
I have the following:
- Dell latitude E6220 with CPU i3-2310M
- Dell latitude E6230 with CPU i5-3340M
Both the CPUs have the socket FCBGA1023, FCPGA988
I'd like to know, first if is technically possible physically change/remove the CPU from those laptops, second If I can exchange the CPUs between the laptops so put the i5 on the E6220 and the i3 on the E6230.
Thanks in advance.

While the CPUs are socketed and removeable, the E6220 uses a Sandy Bridge CPU -- the newer E6230 uses Ivy Bridge. The two CPUs require different mainboards - they cannot be swapped.
