I have a Processor with the same Socket: BGA 1440.

I had a look around, but coudn't find any place that could sell this type of processor.

 

I did find that the processor is - desktop tray processor - they are sold to high volume manufacturers, such as Acer, ASUS , Dell or Lenovo.

 

But i would need it for my notebook setup as this one is cheaper then the "bit" better ones

but "pricier".

 

Does some place still have some some possible to buy from?

Hello!

 

Thank you for posting in the community.

 

Just a heads-up, the processor you are reporting is for mobile or laptop and are usually soldered directly onto the motherboard, so replacing them on your own can be quite tricky. Also, the warranty for tray processors generally comes from the manufacturer or the place where you bought them, not directly from Intel.

 

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option for your notebook, you might want to check out local computer repair shops or online marketplaces like eBay for used or refurbished units. They can often be a great way to save some money. You might check this from our partners as well: Distributor Search: Select Your Region.

 

Let me know if you have other questions.

 

Best Regards,

Hello!

 

Thank you for your timely information.

I have found the processor i needed, but the information you provided is something i can't thank you enough for.

 

About the information that the processor is soldered to the board, i had no idea about, so now before i break it, i can place the computer system with someone more competent for the job than myself.

 

I very much appreciate the help you provided me with.
