The AMD Sempron 145 was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in September 2010. It is part of the Sempron lineup, using the Sargas architecture with Socket AM3. Sempron 145 has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and operates at 2.8 GHz. AMD is building the Sempron 145 on a 45 nm production process using 234 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Sempron 145, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 45 W, the Sempron 145 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Sempron 145 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Sempron 145, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
