AMD Sempron 140 unlocks to dual core

You can now have some fun trying to get a $35 dual-core.

The new Sempron 140 is an AM3 part, compatible with both DDR3 and DDR2 when used in AM2/AM2+ platforms. It comes with a nice enough clock of 2.7GHz, 1MB of L2 cache and a disabled core.
The enthusiasts at VModtech have been able to unlock one they had, with an ASRock M3A790GXH/128 motherboard, to achieve a perfect dual core with an overclocked core speed of 3.7GHz:


Such a cheap processor, when unlocked and overclocked, will provide decent performance in most of recent games and you won't require a motherboard with a very complex CPU PWM module due to the lower wattage of the said CPU vs the Phenom II X2/X3/X4. While it will still heat up, the CPU will require around half of the said amperage, which is the biggest problem that PWM modules have to deal with nowadays.
