Can you replace a Intel atom precesser with a Intel atom dual core?

Answer 1

If it shares the same slot-type and the motherboard supports it, yes. In some cases, a motherboard will support a processor with a higher number of cores than was originally intended thanks to BIOS updates.

For instance, Asus M2N motherboards were originally released around the time that dual-core Athlons (Athlon X2) were gaining popularity. They supported single and multi-core processors of the AM2/AM2+ (slot) type by design. With the latest BIOS updates, they officially support AMD Phenom II X4 processors of the AM3 type up to the Phenom X4 945, and many users have had success installing 955s in these boards too.

If you are considering installing a dual-core processor in place of the existing single-core processor, it would be best to check the compatibility of your board with such processors before going further.

Answer 2

I'm not 100 percent sure but more than likely no. The only way to tell is if the pin set on the dual core matches that of the Pentium 4 and it probably doesn't. also a motherboard that was designed for a Pentium 4 would probably be unable to handle a dual core processor since the performance of the dual core is so much higher. I mean if you have a dual core chip and a motherboard you can potentially waste, do it. But I wouldn't buy one an try it.

Answer 3

What you can replace in a computer depends on the wiring of your motherboard. Intel processors start with the 4004 of the 1970s used for hand held calculators to the advanced processors used today.
