Installing any CPU not originally installed in your computer may not work and you assume all risk for modifying your computer. Other CPUs of the same series, core, revision, etc. may work but there is no guaranty.

But the 4core 8 thread not possible why????

[lasvegaswireman]

Because the maximum TDP is limited to 35 watts and all 2nd Gen i7 4 core/8 thread CPUs exceed 32 watts. It looks like the max 35 watt CPU is the i7-2640M which is still a 2 core/4 thread CPU.
