The AMD Sempron 140 was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in July 2009. It is part of the Sempron lineup, using the Sargas architecture with Socket AM3. Sempron 140 has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and operates at 2.7 GHz. AMD is making the Sempron 140 on a 45 nm production node using 234 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Sempron 140, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 45 W, the Sempron 140 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 system, Sempron 140 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 140, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
