Motherboard compatibility

I own a Lenovo G580 (20150) that came with the Intel i3 3120M (Ivy Bridge, Socket 988B rPGA) and Intel HD Graphics 4000 & NVIDIA GeForce 710M.

 

I would like to upgrade it.

 

My motherboard is:
Model Lenovo G580 (CPU Socket - U3E1)
Version: Not Defined
Chipset Vendor: Intel
Chipset Model: Ivy Bridge
Chipset Revision: 09
Southbridge Vendor: Intel
Southbridge Model: HM76
Southbridge Revision: 04

BIOS: 5ECN42WW (V4.01)

 

Could you please provide me with information about which processor I can use?

 

Thank you.

Re:Motherboard compatibility

From my experience you can use either Core i7-3632QM or Core i7-3630QM. I'd suggest the former as it has the same TDP as your current CPU.
