I brought the intel pentium T4500 processor as a replacement for my single core AMD V140 but it doesnt seem to fit (different pin layout ) is the AMD Athlon II N350 ( as it seems to have the same pin layout as the single core i currently have?) processor the best processor i can use as an upgrade or is there a better processor i could use as an upgrade?
Thanks in advance guys, happy computing!  CPU-Z CQ56 Mainboard.png

In the user manual ive found that my board can take an AMD Athlon II Dual-Core N350 AMN350 AMN350DCR22GM 2.4Ghz Laptop CPU Socket S1 will my board running the f.18 bios support this processor? they both have the same pin count and layout so should be a straight swap?
