I am looking into upgrading my laptop processor. I currently have an AMD A12-9720p processor and Bios F.29. What are a few AMD and Intel processors that would be compatible with my current system?

No you can't because its current AMD A12-9720p processor is integrated to the system board. The series has 4 main options

 

  • AMD® A12-9720P 2.70-GHz (turbo up to 3.66-GHz) quad core processor (1866-MHz FSB, 2.0-GB L2 cache, 15-W)
  • AMD A10-9620P 2.50-GHz (turbo up to 3.40-GHz) quad core processor (1866-MHz FSB, 2.0-GB L2 cache, 15-W)
  • AMD A9-9420P 3.00-GHz (turbo up to 3.60-GHz) dual core processor (1866-MHz FSB, 1.0-GB L2 cache, 15-W)
  • AMD A6-9220P 2.50-GHz (turbo up to 2.90-GHz) dual core processor (1866-MHz FSB, 1.0-GB L2 cache, 15-W)
