A have additional question. In the internet I have found that Sockets Supported by my actual processor is PPGA988, which is not compatible with FCPGA988 which is i7. Is it true? Is it a problem for my Latitude E6520? e.g. i7-2630QM
QM67 should support up to i7 3615QM cpu's, I don't know with which bios revision, but I saw somewhere on the internet. I think that I should support all 3xxx series up to 6MB L3 and I think up to 3.5 or 3.6GHz turbo. Maybe even i7 38xx series, but I don't believe. I'm waiting one 3615 and another 3630, if it does support 3630, I'll then try to give a shot the i7 3740 or even 3820 maybe..

No. Dell released the 6x30 series for Ivy Bridge support - different mainboard. You can use only Sandy Bridge CPUs.

FCPGA refers to the internal design of the processor (flip-chip).
PPGA is the packaging material (plastic pin grid array).
They're two different aspects of the same thing.

They are not electrically compatible so I highly advise against this.
You can run Sandy Bridge CPUs on a Ivy Bridge laptop, but not the other way around.
