Trying to figure out if this cpu can be upgraded? And if not is it possible to replace the logic board?

The iMac "Core i5" 2.3 21.5-Inch Aluminum (Mid-2017/Kaby Lake) features a 14-nm "Kaby Lake" 2.3 GHz Intel "Core i5" processor (7360U) with two independent processor "cores" on a single chip, a 4 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of 2133 MHz DDR4 SDRAM that is reportedly onboard -- but actually can be upgraded later -- a 1 TB (5400 RPM) hard drive, and an "integrated" Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 graphics processor that shares system memory.

For the logic board replacement, check out the ifixit guide at iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 3068 Logic Board Replacement.
Hope my answer helps you.

So I see that logic board can be replaced. But to add more clarification on my question I meant can it be replaced with a logic board from one of the models that has a better cpu
@noah_ You're actually upgrading the cpu, please check out another thread of the same kind. Upgrade of base model iMac 21.5
