    the i-series has 1st gen 2nd gen and 3rd gen

    also some are supported by some chipsets and not others

    also a BIOS will be programmed to support a limited list of cpu's

    so you cannot just go the socket.

    use the intel ARK site to see each cpu specifics

    or cpuworld

    eg search for intel i3 3110M
