Would an i7-3630M in an X230 work?
I know a guy who has a BGA rework station and can do CPU and GPU swaps. Could a Quad Core go in a X230, and if so, which one would be the maximum spec'd one I could put in there?

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

BUT
the cpu I7-3612QE is VERY hard to source
it can be found on industrial design fanless boards or add on cards such as the mentioned
