iMac 5K 2014 with Broadwell (i7-5775C) update?

[wmy5]

I am curious whether I can update my iMac 5K Late 2014 with a 14nm i7-5775C. Does anyone knows if it is compatible with iMac? Thanks!

Well Haswell is 22nm so I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's highly unlikely.

It is a good question. The sockets seems to be the same. But according to Anandtech you risk random freezes and integrated graphic failure without a bios update:
