^^it is possible but it's not a good idea
1)it's not worth the trouble
2)it's really costly

yup. its really costly as its not available freely. & the supported processors are also limited to a few models.
lastly, some manufacturers solder the processor making it impossible (or a daunting task) to remove the processor.
