hp 630 i3 380m processor upgrade

[Ammar8]

Dear sir/madam,

I Have HP 630 core i3 380M. I would like upgrade the processor to core i5 or if possible i7. Which processor would you recommend in this case for this notebook?

Best regard

Hi:

The HP quickspecs for that model indicate that only the i3-380M was offered as a supported processor for the notebooks with the Mobile Intel® HM55 Express Chipset.

So, installing any Intel 1st gen dual core processor other than the one you have now would be a complete experiment.

You can experiment with one of these and hope it works...

Intel Core i7-620M

Intel Core i5-520M

Here is a comparison of your processor's specs and the other two.
