The Intel Pentium G2140 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in Q2 2013. It is part of the Pentium lineup, using the Ivy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. The processor operates at a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and does not support Intel Hyper-Threading, limiting it to 2 threads. Intel is manufacturing the Pentium G2140 on a 22 nm production process, featuring improved power efficiency. With a TDP of 55 W, this processor has moderate power consumption, making it suitable for mainstream systems with standard cooling solutions. The Pentium G2140 includes 3 MB of L3 cache for faster data access. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface, operating at speeds up to 1333 MHz. ECC memory is not supported on this model, as it is primarily designed for consumer-grade systems. For communication with other components, the Pentium G2140 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is required for display output. Hardware virtualization (VT-x) is supported on the Pentium G2140, enabling basic virtual machine functionality. The multiplier is locked, restricting overclocking capabilities. Compared to higher-end models, this processor omits features like Turbo Boost and AES-NI instruction set support.
