    No.
    The only thing those 2 cpu's have in common is that they are both manufactured by Intel.

    That is equivalent to attempting to put an F1 engine into a mini cooper/ice cream truck.
    The pins of the i5 need to fit into a socket PGA-988.

    If you want to know what happens if you try and it really fits, well, I attempted to take a mobile core 2 duo processor and stick it into a sony vaio W notebook atom 1.66 GHz dual core-all the pins fit, but there was an empty pin slot in the cpu socket. powered it on-constant black screen. no it didn't harm my CPU or the socket.

      It's silly to recommend swapping anu CPU into a slot not designed for it...
      The fact that nothing was damaged in your experiment means you got lucky...

      Well lately we have quite a few people saying "try this...nothing went wrong when i did it"...
      Clearly not a good choice at all...

      The difference between 'opinion' and 'fact' is a big one, my friend.

      I really feel kinda stupid in retrospect-but in the name of experiments...  ::)

      Don't motherboards have some sort of fail-safe voltage protection??? Like for example, if you set a CPU multiplier too high in the BIOS and reboot and doesn't POST, the motherboard will automatically reset the CMOS.
