| V Series V140 Vs Celeron 900 |
The AMD V Series V140, is an entry level single core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz. Some of the architectural features of the V140, including the integrated memory controller and fast differential Hypertrasnport bus to communicate with chipset makes it a decent processor. With the Integrated memory controller, the processor connects to the memory directly reducing the memory latency and improving memory transfer rate.
The V series V140 communicates with the chipset is using a 1600 MHz 16-bit HyperTransport link. HyperTransport is a scalable differential bus that provides massive bandwidth needed in today’s computing environment.
The AMD V140 has 512 KB of L2 cache and no L3 Cache. The lack of the L3 Cache is partly made up by the DDR3 integrated memory controller.
Its TDP rating of just 25 Watts enables the design of the light and low power notebooks which could also be excellent for good battery life.
No detail bench marking result can be produced at the time of writing. You can check the V140 bench marking results now. It is expected that its performance will improve upon the AMD V120 by 5%. We may speculated that its performance will be close to similarly clocked Intel Celeron processors.
Some of the other features of the V140 processor include support of the special multimedia instruction sets MMX technology 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4A. It supports Hardware Virtualization technology, which could be very helpful if you are having two operating systems working simultaneously.
Pros of AMD V140 Processor
- Low cost.
- Low power, ideal for notebooks and long battery life.
- DDR3 Integrated Memory Controller.
Cons of AMD V140 Processor
_ Lacks computing power for high end computing.
- No L3 Cache.
Some of the recent notebooks with AMD V Series V140 processor include Acer AS5252-V476,TOSHIBA Satellite C655D-S5087, Compaq Presario CQ62Z.
improving upon the frequency of the V120 by 100 MHz. The processor has an integrated Dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM Memory controller.
In the next post we have listed the benchmark of V140 and then we have presented a comparison with some other entry level processors.

is’t 1600 MHz 16-bit HyperTransport link parallel processing…
Thanks for good clarification
You think an Intel Atom processor is better than this?
I have this procesor in my laptop Toshiba. Is a very good procesor.
I am looking at buying a new laptop and I want to spend no more than £300 could you suggest one. I have been looking into this HP HP G56-100SA – 3GB memory & 320GB hard drive. It has the processor that you are talking about in it.
Thank you.
@Rob
try ASDA – Compaq 15.6in 250 gb laptop (503-406) on offer at £277
I ended up paying £370 for a HP G62-b29SA 15.6″ Laptop in white I am very happy with it.
Thank you anyway.
I recently got 2 laptops, one with INTEL and one with AMD. The AMD is consistently giving me problems shutting down on its own where the INTEL laptop is working flawlessly.
SO WILL THIS BE GOOD TO RUN AGAME CALLED MINECRAFT AND OTHER PLEASE REPLY BECAUSE THE LAPTOP I HAVE NOW IS REALLY SLOW ITS THE COMPAQ PRESARIO cq60
Good processor, yes it can play mine craft, even on the highest settings. I can play it without any problems with my HP G56-100SA with this processor and originally 3gb of RAM. Recently I was looking into RAM upgrades and I bought a 4gb RAM unit, and used it to replace the 1gb unit, so I got 6gb of ram. I would recommend this to take advantage of its 64Bit capability.Brilliant processor for a budget , I have compared it to a Intel core duo, and the V140 performs on par, or sometimes even better than the Duo. Surprising for a single core. Intel needs to step up its game!
