I bought a ThinkPad T440p with Libreboot and SeaBIOS installed. I’m planning to upgrade the CPU to an Intel Core i7-4910MQ, but before purchasing, I wanted to double-check if there would be any compatibility issues with Libreboot and whether the computer would recognize the new CPU.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You should be able to do that upgrade with the stock bios.
I believe the 4702 is the recommended cpu for power and cooling reasons:

I am unsure as to why there would be any compatibility issues between cpus. New cpu does the same thing as the old, but faster.
