    Can I change my laptops Pentium Gold processor into Core i3 or else?


    I have laptop hp-bs043nl with 4 GB RAM and Intel Pentium Gold 4415U processor 2.30 GHz , Dual Core . I bought this laptop last year and I would Like to improve its performance. I already upgraded the RAM to 8 GB. I would like to whether if can upgrade my Pentium Gold Processor to Intel Core i3 or i5 with quad core perhaps. Is it possible?

    :)

    Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

    Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

    The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:
    • New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
    • Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
    • Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
    • K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
    • Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support
    The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.

    Quad Core vs i3 running Windows 10 and Access

    Hi there,

    If you want to compare these two processors this site might help you. You have to know the model and it will show the comparison table from there you can decide it for yourself.

    I personally would go with i3 (you haven't specified exactly which i3 model you are looking for).

    I would go with i3-4005u roughly the same cost, better in every department against the Pentium.

    Hope this solves your dilemma.
