AMD Sempron 140 - SDX140HBK13GQ / SDX140HBGQBOX
Specifications
While the Sempron has only one core, it's in fact a dual-core Athlon II processor with one core disabled. The second core may be unlocked on some Sempron 140 microprocessors using "Advanced Clock Calibration" BIOS feature. Sempron with unlocked core is reported by CPU-Z and similar programs as "Athlon II X2 4400e Processor". Not only that, but some Sempron processors overclock really well, and may reach 3.6 - 3.7 GHz. (Disclaimer - overclocking may damage your CPU. Damage, caused by overclocking, is not covered by CPU warranty.)

Typo - Family: AMD K7 Sempron?
You typed "AMD K7 Sempron" in "Family" instead of "AMD K10 Sempron". The link points to the correct location though.
Unlocking Success.
I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H.
With Normal ACC firmware setting per core "-2".
Unlocked succesfully.
But I cannot enable C1E, Once enable it will not boot up.
Unlocked hidden core
The Sempron 140 can also be unlocked to restore it an Athlon II X2 state. Both chips are based on the same silicon, but the Sempron has one of its cores disabled..
I have GIGABYTE MB 'GA-MA78LM-S2H' and able to unlock 2nd core..Use 'EC FIRWARE' to Hybrid and 'ACC' to Auto..
Memory Controller
The CPU Specs say "DDR2 Controller" but it should be DDR2/DDR3 since this in an AMD K10 and can be used in the AM3-socket
For Jon (et al)
I read your comment regarding the settings on your Gigabyte Motherboard and can confirm that they work. I recently rebuilt a couple of my kids machines, so, on a budget, I acquired a pair of MA78LM-S2H's to see if I could unlock any on my Semprons and indeed I can. All of them did. Thanks kindly.
Beautiful processor, on my AsRock N68C-S work on fsb 300mhz!!! Of course is problem with onboard graphic card.
Unlock success on GA-MA785-US2H. C1E Support - Disable , EC Firmware Selection - Hybrid, AAC - All cores AUTO.
Unlocking confirmation
I have successfully unlocked my Sempron 140 NAEIC AE 1040MPMW using Biostar A780L3G motherboard. So far it is running stable at 3.37 GHz on stock cooler and using cheapo 2x2 GB DDR3-1333 (bought it for US$15 a piece LOL).
Unlocked
I have unlocked this one also on GA-78LMT-s2 it runs stable with 2 cores on 3.6ghz with stock cooler.
Asrock N68-S3 UCC
I have ASRock N68-S3 UCC motherbord. After bios upgrading to p1.40 unlocked sempron 140 (now Athlon II X2 440) is working stable!
