Nice Review!

Interesting, i didnt think it would overclock that well with both cores enabled!

Well, many people thinks the Phenom II 810 won't clock either, but mine does 3.7Ghz easily.

LittleLizard · Oct 29, 2009, 08:30 PM

i know people who may actually want some of that

The Gonz · Oct 29, 2009, 08:37 PM

I thought using a AM2+ CPU in an AM3 mobo was a no no?

Can anyone confirm this?

DaC · Oct 29, 2009, 08:37 PM

Sweet Stuff!! I remember not long ago people used to curse AMD over overclocking capability, high temps and high consumption.....
But man...... this Sempron 140 is a true BAD BOY! At $39.00 you can unlock + overclock to 3.6ghz, still keeping cool, relative low power to performance, eating E8200 in the breakfast and even X2 550BE......
Oh boy... I wish I had gone 785/X2 240 or Sempron 140 instead of G31/E5200 for my HTCP project I'm about to complete..... =(((((

Sempron 140 is new generation of Sempron family. Its native to AM3 socket with DDR2/DDR3 memory and AM2+ socket. Read the text, it says numerous times that Sempron 140 is nothing more than Athlon II X2 with disabled core

Hm. I think this is a bad move for AMD. I think they should follow Intel's steps here and make their Sempron line dual core. Just take a Regor core and clock it really slow. I think a 2GHz dual core would be better than a 2.7GHz single.

But for enthusiests, this is sick!! $40 can get a 3.6GHz dual core CPU! Very very nice. Buying any other Regor core seems pointless now. Just get this and unlock and overclock.

Edit: AMD listened!

dont see the reason either.
anyways we get Phenom 1000 so they have 10 series of cpu's.
nice to see you can actually build yourself a NAS! GW/FW, Domain controller, whatever you want at 120 bucks for the mobo cpu and memory!

thats crazy!

TheLaughingMan · Oct 29, 2009, 09:44 PM

I bought one of these a while back. Its cheap, it works faster than some of the dual cores of the 939 and AM2 generations. I can't say anything for heat as i used my Phenom II 955's stock cooler on this CPU to get it nice and frosty at the 3.3 Ghz it runs at. Mobo I bought was $60 and didn't support AAC.

All an all, I used this CPU and $50 case to build a computer out of spare parts and old stuff I had lying around. It runs Win7 very well, games ok, and only disappointed me in Virus scans as I could not run AVG, S&D, Registry Mechanic, and Ccleaner at the same time.

WarEagleAU · Oct 30, 2009, 12:05 AM

Awesome cpu and for 39 bucks man, that is chump change. I could literally build me an HTPC for 200 bucks and kick serious ass with it. Can't wait for your next bad ass awesome review Omega.

Omega · Oct 30, 2009, 12:09 AM

Tnx man, working on two more budget cpu's. ETA - end of weekend

LittleLizard · Oct 30, 2009, 12:12 AM

celeron e3xxx??

Omega · Oct 30, 2009, 12:21 AM

Not yet.
I need to make a time frame for Windows7 transition, and that's gonna happen after next two reviews. Athlon II X3 425 (already tested, unlocked and overclocked) and Pentium E6300.

After that there will be a little down time while I rebench most of the CPU's with Windows7 and new benchmark suite. When done, new Celeron E3x00 series, Core i5/i7 LGA1156 and Phenom's X4 9xx will be following. Slowly moving to higher end models while building a quality CPU database and learning all the thingys when writing for TPU.

Again, I have to ask for some support and ideas on how to improve benchmark suite. Please check HERE

suraswami · Oct 30, 2009, 12:30 AM

Nice review. Keep it coming. Looking forward the unlock and OC of the X3 425.

MK4512 · Oct 30, 2009, 12:31 AM

Wow! What a CPU for the price! $39 can't be beat IMO.

eidairaman1 · Oct 30, 2009, 04:12 AM

Decent Single Core, It seems the 1MB L2 Parts are really performing close to the units with the L3 Cache but much cheaper. TBH I cant wait until the Athlon 2 X4 with 4MB L2 Cache as a Black Edition, I may grab one and Skip the Phenom 2 955.

BraveSoul · Oct 30, 2009, 04:55 AM

undervolt it and u got the greenest/cheapest machine

F2K · Oct 30, 2009, 07:21 AM

Great review Omega.
Unfortunately my board has the SB700 so I gave up on the idea of getting one of these

There is a typo on "System Power Consumption" images on page 12 - it says Semron

DaC · Oct 30, 2009, 08:32 AM

Omega
On "Overclocking and Unlocking"Power consumption was measured with both cores unlocked or only one ? I guess with 2 cores, right ? Also, could you add a power consumption test with cores unlocked and undervolt ?

Sempron 140 gray bar - stock
Sempron 140 3.64 GHz green bar - single core, oc
Sempron 140 X2 3.64 blue bar - unlocked, oc

Sorry, don't have the CPU anymore so additional test are not possible. But look in the Athlon II X2 240 review, it's the same core so the results should be similar
