It's compatible with 2nd and 3rd generation processors. Some form factors may have power requirements and it will limit the use of high power processors.
For example, i7-3770, the position of bold number determine the generation.

Thank you for the information.
I'm a little bit confused about this CPU upgrade.
If I put a processor Intel core i7-3770 on my Dell OptiPlex 9010 Small Form Factor (SFF)
it will be compatible and do I have co change the power supply or not?

A small form factor can take an i7-3770 with a proper heatsink + fan, and latest BIOS.
Does not need new power supply.

No need to change PSU. It would be a different story based solely on if a GPU card was being ran and depending on what GPU.
