Your notebook's processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

I've never heard of such a thing.

 

If you are sure they can do that, you can only update to one of the processors listed in chapter 3 of the service manual, which would be the Intel Core i7-8550U.

The benefit you will gain vs the expense of doing it would not be worth it, IMHO.

 

I have no idea where you can even buy a FCBGA1356 processor.

 

I don't see any for sale on eBay and Intel has discontinued them.
