I'm thinking to upgrade the CPU, and I know for sure that the system board could run a dual core such as anAMD Athlon II N370 processor (2.5 GHz, 1-MB L2 cache,1066 MHz, 3.2 GT/s)-- dual-core 35 W.
You have already figured this out. You can only safely assume that processors listed in the Manual will work. AMD boards tend to be a bit more flexible than Intel i.e. will accept a broader range of processors but I would be very surprised if any Quad Core processor would work.
Amd V140 Processor Driver For Mac

However, Linux distros, or operating systems, can have issues with compatibility with computer hardware. This can be a result of lacking vendor support. Drivers can be lacking, or they might not exist at all. Hardware like CPUs, if lacking support, can function poorly and make using the PC inconvenient. So where does that leave users of AMD processors?
For those with some familiarity with working in a Linux distro, the bleeding edge might prove more attractive. You would be receiving the latest updates and drivers on a regular basis. Additional features should be tested at your discretion as they are added, however. It does require a little more know-how, and experience with Linux is a must since it is very much not a casual user experience for most bleeding-edge distros.
Not all distros are created equal. Some are good daily drivers, others are tailored to specific use cases. Consider something like Ubuntu vs Kali Linux. Both run an operating system using the Linux kernel.
So with some of the legwork out of the way, what are the best Linux distros to use with your AMD processor? AMD processors have wide support across the market, with Ryzen processors being fairly common in budget and high-end computers alike. As such, support is good across the board, and implementing chipset support is swift. Here are a few of the best you can use with your AMD processor:
What sets Clear Linux apart from the pack is while optimized for Intel processors, it is also remarkably efficient for AMD CPUs. Users can expect bleeding-edge security mitigations, cloud and local security, and peak performance from Clear Linux.
For gamers, there is a good deal of support for applications like Steam, which also has a fairly diverse library of games to choose from for Linux distros. Core performance is also customizable. It can be optimized for performance, battery life, or some combination thereof. Pop!_OS is a solid choice for AMD processors. It has a solid base of common applications for media professionals and casual users alike.
Functionally there is no difference between using an Intel or AMD processor with any Linux distro of your choosing. AMD and Intel use a shared x86_64 architecture and most driver support relates to fully using the functions of a specified chipset.
All the above processors are from V-series or AMD Athlon II Dual Core Mobile series.. what you're looking at is from another series and it's three core. Chances are small the BIOS contains support for a third series of processors, so I wouldn't recommend buying that CPU.
Three years ago I bought a cheap notebook (a Toshiba Satellite C660D running with an AMD V140 single core processor) for my wife. Main purpose: Typical office work (the whole MS Office suite) and browsing the net. Back in the days when all CPU's only had one core this was no problem at all. But the newer Windows operating systems (in this case Windows 7) seem to be bloody slow on a single core CPU. Working on this machine was just a pain in the ... butt.
After a first attempt to increase memory (see Continuous reboot loop after RAM upgrade in Notebook (solved)) I finally decided to risk a CPU replacement (of course with the promise of buying a new notebook if I brick the thing). I have replaced processors several times but only in desktop computers and servers, never in a notebook...
The keyboard can be removed by removing the keyboard screws. They're hidden under a small cover which you can pull out with a simple flat screwdriver. Next to the ESC key there is a perfect space to get under the cover and pull it up. Once you have done that just pull out the cover all the way. You will then see the screws you remove. After that you can lift the keyboard and you will see that it is attached to the motherboard with a connection "band". Unplug this band by gently pulling (pushing towards the screen) the white plastic holders (they're holding the band in place). You can then remove the band and completely remove the keyboard.
With the keyboard removed, we're just one step away from the interior. There are three screws which need to be removed after the keyboard. You also need to disconnect two connectors. One is the touch panel connector (bottom) and the other the screen connector (top). I needed to pull a bit more on the screen connector to get it out... Don't pull too strong though. Now you can remove the notebook cover. I used a flat screwdriver again, placed it somewhere near the left-mouse-button of the touch panel to lift up the cover.
Now we have the motherboard separated and we can finally exchange the CPU. First remove the screws which hold the heat pipe on top of the CPU socket. We then finally see the V140 in front of us. To release the "lock" of the socket, gently turn the black screw counter-clockwise 180 degrees. You will see that the processor jumps a little bit (it was released). You can then take the CPU and place the new CPU on the socket (make sure you place it the same way because the pins on the CPU need to match the socket!). In my case it was simple because both "branding tags" were at the bottom. Once the new CPU is placed on the socket, turn the black screw again (this time clockwise) to lock the processor on the socket. My new Turion II came already prepared with thermal grease on it. If that isn't the case with your CPU, you must put some thermal grease on it. Then fix the heat pipe again.
Hello Lionel, according to CPU-World.com ( -world.com/CPUs/Atom/Intel-Atom%20N450%20AU80610004653AA.html) the Intel Atom N450 processor cannot be upgraded because "BGA processors, like this one, are soldered on a motherboard, for that reason upgrading or replacing them is very very difficult."
Overclocking and tweaking then. Always invest in good hardware by the way (MOBO/PSU/Memory/Cooling), the cheaper motherboards often are not well tuned for enthusiast overclocking. Also get yourself a good power supply and proper processor cooling. Overclocking with a more core processor (it doesn't matter if that is Intel or AMD) is often far more difficult than you expect it to be.
Everything Ryzen, and that includes the series 3, 5, 7 and now 12 and 16-core Threadripper processors reach roughly the same values as the 8-core Ryzen 7 series. This makes sense as the reality is that the processor die is the same, the 8-core die part with two CCXes, however, for Threadripper is binned, they only use the top 2% dies. That means lower voltages.
Now, we tried 4.1 GHz on all cores, that booted as well / and thus worked but required significantly more Voltage (V1.40+) on the processor, and that also means more heat and power consumption. We settled at that all familiar 4.0 GHz on all 16 cores. Memory wise we had 3200 MHz CL14 stable. We inserted all OC benchmarks results throughout the article for you to look at (as you probably have noticed). And that is also testimony to the stability of this tweak.
