An upgrade is possible, but it's not an easy switch. The newer processor requires a specific chip set and socket that differs from the ones installed in most computers. Removing the motherboard may not be an option if you have a laptop, but a desktop could be rebuilt with a new motherboard and CPU to accomodate the new processor.
