Not really. The CPUs are soldered to the mainboard. You would have to find a quad core with an identical BGA configuration, unsolder the old CPU and solder the new one (not a trivial task), and then it would probably overload the cooling system and overheat.

Thanks for your answer.
I want max performance but bigger mobility than 14 inch of a T line. Have you ever heard that someone did it ?
