Ivy Bridge 22 nm Dual-Core

The Intel Pentium G2140 is a refurbished desktop processor built on the 22 nm Ivy Bridge architecture. It operates at a fixed 3.3 GHz frequency with two cores and 3 MB of L3 cache. The 55 W thermal design power suits standard office chassis and small-form-factor builds.

LGA 1155 DDR3 Office Upgrade

This CPU suits users refreshing an existing LGA 1155 platform for web browsing, document work, or legacy application support. Integrated Intel HD Graphics at 650 MHz base frequency handles display output without a discrete card. It lacks Hyper-Threading, so heavily threaded workloads should look at other options.

55 W TDP and 32 GB DDR3 Limit

The 55 W thermal design power defines the cooler requirement and case airflow needed for stable operation. The integrated memory controller supports dual-channel DDR3 1333 or 1600 up to a maximum of 32 GB capacity. Virtualization technology is supported for basic virtual machine tasks.

Questions about this item

Will the 55 W TDP limit performance during long rendering sessions?

The 55 W thermal design power is the sustained limit; the dual-core Ivy Bridge chip runs at a fixed 3.3 GHz with no turbo boost, so clocks will not drop below that speed as long as the cooler can dissipate 55 W.

How loud and hot does the boxed cooler get when the CPU runs at 3.3 GHz all day?

No cooling device is included with this processor-only unit; thermal output is capped at 55 W, so noise and temperature depend entirely on the aftermarket LGA 1155 cooler you install.

Which motherboard and memory do I need to have already for this LGA 1155 Pentium to work?

You need an LGA 1155 motherboard with a 6-series or 7-series chipset and DDR3 modules rated for 1333 or 1600 MT/s; the integrated memory controller supports up to 32 GB across two channels.
