Upgrading CPU- compatibility
Been contemplating this for a while.
I currently have a Dell N5050 with an i3-2350M
This is on a 01HXXJ Dell board, 35W.
These are tried and tested cpus for this laptop:

After doing a little research tonight, I came up with this list:
http://ark.intel.com/compare/53450,53438,50072,53464,52...
My current CPU is on the list, along with the highest "tested" CPU, but the i7 - 2640M runs at 35w on the same socket.
Wouldn't I be able to skip the i5 upgrade from the first link and go straight the the i7-2640M Upgrade?
I dont see any issues with it, but I'm not as experienced as members in the community.
Ultimately, my question is : Is the 2640m a compatible cpu upgrade?
Here is a side by side comparison:
