With 2th and 3th generation on an ibm e430 the change works, but only
as downgrade and not upgrade cause the pch model.
But in 6th and 7th generation the pch is stored in the same chip of cpu....
I read that some desktop motherboard accept both 6th and 7th generation cpu previous bios update. I want to try this switch on an asus zenbook ux510uw

Re: Cpu compatibility

are the 6th and 7th generation CPUs, pin-compatible?

I didn't check all the pins but for my search I think there is a pin compatibility.
