Can I use the Intel Core i5-2520M (BX80627I52520M) processor on the QM67 motherboard?

motherboard supported　"socket G2 (rPGA 988B)"

Box Package BX80627I52520M requires "Socket G1" ?? (It writes in the product label.)

thanks.

Socket G1 and Socket G2 are not compatible, and socket G1 CPUs won't fit into socket G2 motherboards. The good news is that the BX80627I52520M is a socket G2 processor.

The label is incorrect.

By the way, you can find a list of processors, compatible with QM67 chipset, here:
