The Manual seems to say you can install an i7-3632QM, which is a major leap from what you have. So much so, I am trying to get a second opinion from @erico so I do not send you down a blind alley. But I am pretty sure you can.

G6-2206TX is the model number:
You have this motherboard:
System board for use only with computer models equipped with Windows 8 Standard and a graphics subsystem with 2048 MB of discrete video memory (includes replacement thermal material) 680570-501
Processors are listed on page 23.
I was skeptical you could install the i7-3632QM in the same socket as an i3-2370M but:
@erico you answered before what do you say about this proposed quantum leap?
