Upgrade CPU on Inspiron 5559(i5-6200U/8GB/2GB AMD R5 M335 ) bought sept'16
I bought it last year and as it turns out not buying an i7 outright was a mistake, could anyone help me in identifying available i7 CPUs which are compatible with this model (preferably with a turbo boost frequency > 3 GHz).

You can't change just the CPU -- that is soldered to the system board. You'd need to replace the entire system board with one having an i7 CPU onboard.
This isn't an inexpensive upgrade -- you may be better off selling the system and buying a new one.
If you really want to do the upgrade, you'll need this:
