Oh, I thought you were literally talking about CPU swap, like take an older Intel CPU out, apply new thermal paste and install a newer Intel CPU.
Technically what you performed was a computer swap. Like special, I too got all excited reading the subject that someone was actually popping a new CPU into their machine a la the PowerMac [7-9][5-6]00 series. I guess you're right. There's so much connected to it though, and it's so hard to access... it does feel like I'm surgically removing and replacing one small organ of a large beast.
