Despite the quite wide range of models in the UX series and quite high prices, there were no dual-core versions of the device. However, the device itself is 100% ready  to work with a dual-core processor. Therefore it&#8217;s relatively easy to make a custom upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery below represents the process of CPU replacement: the original Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 Solo U1500 is replaced by Intel\u00ae Core\u21222 Duo U7700 (dual-core, 64-bit). The modding was made by a professional master Sergey (aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/Notebook-pro-centerRu\">Freeqwer<\/a>). Here is a video from Sergey of a similar modding made for another item: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OcuwCzd7C0I\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/OcuwCzd7C0I<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to my <a href=\"\/?page_id=229\">benchmarks<\/a>, Core\u21222 Duo U7700 is actually two times faster than Core\u2122 Solo U1500 when the application utilizes both cores. The new CPU has increased the power consumption of the device by 25% and the cooling system is able to handle the extra power without the device overheating.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-gallery-container
