You're wanting to skip generations in CPU architecture. I wouldn't recommend it and doubt without a lot of work it's possible. CPU is almost for sure soldered to the board.

Do not go down that path. Procuring parts might be as expensive as buying a new low to mid tier laptop.

The way to go to update a laptop's CPU is buying a whole new laptop.

You should be able to as they have the same power consumption, but you risk ruining the first cpu and the 2nd not working leaving you with no laptop.

There's no skip in generations, those are both 3rd gen IVY cpu's

1- That CPU has 2 possible forms FCBGA1023 (BGA; soldered on board) and FCPGA988 (socket 988)

2- I think that laptop is socket 988 so yeah, a i7-3520M could be an option for it, since it's the same TDP

3- You want to get a new laptop, usually laptop CPUs bought separately are expensive

4-Compatibility: that CPU should be compatible it's; CPUs that are totally compatible (going to put what I find):

-i5 3210m

-i7-3520M

-Dell's website (

http://www.dell.com/es/empresas/p/latitude-e5530/pd) (rPGA988B, I can't confirm this, but according to this it should, then it should support (if that one you've has a HM77 chipset) the next cpus: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM77_Express.html (look up to 35xx versions, ignoring Y and U versions)):

-i7-3540M

-i5-3380M, i5-3340M, i5-3230M

Higher versions of 3rd gen (36xx and higher) may work and may not... but you don't wanna try

5- That laptop seems to work only with iGPU, so if your issue are graphics, you need to buy a new laptop

But its BGA and he needs a new board that actually fits the laptop....

I really doubt he can find dell parts. The dell boards on eBay are for desktops and not proprietary boards.

I' never seen a place that sells mobile CPUs and I generally wouldn't mess with laptop internals.

Are you sure it'll be compatible? I mean that it'll obviously be pin-compatible, but that doesn't mean the mobo works with it...you know how picky Dell's boards are with GPUs.

 

Plus, where would anyone find a tray mobile processor that has such a little-known PGA socket?
