Celeron G540T has 2 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.1 GHz. Intel is building the Celeron G540T on a 32 nm production process using 504 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Celeron G540T, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 35 W, the Celeron G540T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the computer, Celeron G540T uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD (Sandy Bridge) integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the Celeron G540T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
