Doesn't look like Intel Chipset in XPS 8920 supports CPUs newer than 7th Gen, which is what your i7-7xxx is. XPS 8920  specs say it supports an i7-7xxxK CPU which can be faster than your i7-7xxx, and there are some overclocking options listed in BIOS setup. Don't know how much extra performance you might get, and a "K" CPU may require better cooling than the current CPU. If you decide to upgrade, be sure to install the latest version of BIOS before swapping CPUs... Would adding more RAM and replacing the HDD with an SSD, be an easy way to improve performance?
I own a XPS 8920 tower with an Intel Core i7-7700 CPU I bought way back in 2017.I’m guessing the answer to this question is no, but I wanted to check anyway. Does anyone know if the processor can be upgraded in this machine? If so, what are the exact specifications for any options? Thanks in advance!
XPS 8920, upgrade from i7-7700 CPU?
