New Listing Apple A1347 Mac Mini Core i5 2.6GHz 16GB RAM 1TB HDD Mac OS Late 2014 Mojave. The $599 Mac mini has a 2.5GHz dual-core Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor; last year’s high-end model also had a 2.5GHz dual-core Core i5 processor, but it was from the Sandy Bridge family.
I just purchased a mid 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.3ghz 8gb RAM and Intel HD Graphics 3000. My question is, is it possible to manually upgrade the processor to the i7 quad-core 2.0ghz or 2.7ghz processor's or the i5 dual-core 2.5ghz processor? According to the spec sheet, they are all accompanied by the Sandy Bridge so it seems that interchanging should be possible, however, when customizing on Apple.com the 2.3ghz model does not offer an upgrade option for the processor.
Also, would it be possible to upgrade the graphics processor from the Intel HD 3000 to the AMD Radeon HD 6630M?
Can any offer some insight here? Thanks
Is this a good question?

It does not have an internal optical drive, although an external one could be purchased for US$79.
Connectivity includes a Firewire '800' port, four USB 2.0 ports, combined 'audio line in (digital/analog)' and combined 'audio line out/headphone (digital/analog)' minijacks, a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an SDXC card slot and an HDMI port as well as a new 'Thunderbolt' port that is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort and likewise supports an external display at 2560x1600 and passes an audio signal as well. Thunderbolt also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions. Compared to its non-server predecessor, the most obvious external difference is that this model lacks an optical drive, but it also has the aforementioned Thunderbolt port and is a bit lighter. Internally, it also has a faster processor, architecture, RAM and graphics as well as improved wireless capabilities.
