Intel chipset with limited/locked cpu support

[mmvv80]

Don't buy a laptop or embedded device and expect to upgrade it. Problem solved.

As soon as a work-around is found, a "fix" will be slipped into otherwise-needed updates, and you'll be back to square one. Since that's a bricked PC, your options are to get something better from Intel, or use AMD.

Anyway to remove that limitation ? does the chipset have a firmware that can be modified ?

Try checking BIOS and ME Firmware support.

Perhaps you could start with user mmvv80 who reports using an i3 successfully with HM70.

Right, but it uses the HM75, not the HM70 being discussed here.

He's wrong.
