Hi:

 

The processor is part of the motherboard.

 

In order to upgrade the processor, you would have to replace the motherboard with one listed in the service manual for your model series that may come with a better processor.

 

This would cost as much as buying a new notebook with a better processor, since that model series is so new.

 

Below is the link to the service manual...
