Hello,
Today upgraded the Braswell BGA SoC on HP Stream 11-ak1012dx laptop!
X5-E8000 (SR2LV) to N3710 (SR2KL)
Same CPUID for microcode, 406C4, and extracting the BIOS shows that all are supported.
I did not have to anything like modify BIOS image or clear ME/TXE. Everything just worked.
Very nice to see that the BIOS supports CPUs that weren't even offered on any boards using that BIOS image.
Short video of the upgrade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqYgB6N2ijM
Kind Regards,
Josh
PS: I have some Bay-Trail machines... maybe will try there too.
