Pretty much AMD stated that these CPUs were 8 Core 8 Thread. When in reality the CPUs were dual threaded so they have 4 cores instead of 8. You can make a claim here.

Only for Residents of California? What is this crap? I Guess I visited AMD.com before I bought my 2 like every one else did? Is that how this is supposed to work? They did blatantly lie though. I "upgraded" from a beastly Phenom 2 X4 980 BE Quad Core to the FX 8350 "8 core". After playing around with it a while and figuring out that I could only get it to OC up to 4.4ghz without the memory controller flipping out (works fine but doesn't OC very well) I then bought a FX 8320 and I've had it OCed up to 5.2ghz. It ran hot but it was stable. Currently running it at 4.8ghz and it runs cool. Truthfully the 980 Deneb Core was a better "gaming" cpu but it ran pretty darn hot once you started to OC it a bit.

So yes anyone in the US who bought one of the listed models is eligible. The reason California is specified is more than likely because of a law pertaining to the suits or some other reason.

Just cashed it this morning. Sucks that so many people filed for it. AMD had to pay out over 15 million smackers + court fees and we only got $30 per CPU by the time they divided up what was left after the lawyers and the plaintiff got there share. We were supposed to get like $300 per CPU. The greedy bastards. 8 core 8 thread my ass. Oh the last small update from Windows update did this. lol That's more like it eh? It now shows 4 cores with 4 threads. Or 8 Logical Processors. Edited April 28, 2020 by J3st3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Also @J3st3r logical processors are threads don't know why they changed the term, cores are the physical cores present in the actual CPU itself. Thats why you hear 4 core 8 thread CPUs in the past but only very recently did they change it from threads to logical processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why there was so much confusion and also why this went to court. Logical cores are the number of Physical cores plus the number of threads times the hyperthread cores. Since these chips do not have any sort of "hyperthreading" Windows just adds the # of cores + the number of threads. 4 + 4 = 8. That is why it shows a total of 8 cores in when I benchmark in Cinebench and in Windows Resource Monitor. Edited April 28, 2020 by J3st3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Threading is just a term used by Intel that means a CPU can use 2 threads per single threaded core or SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) so if a CPU, such as mine, has 8 cores and 16 threads it just means that there are 2 threads per core or 2 logical processors per core so 8*2 or 8+8.

AMDs CMT (Clustered Multithreading) more like cluster fucked multithreading in the AMD Piledriver chips are quite different from any other chip. The Piledriver CPUs do indeed have 8 integer threads but only 4 usable FPU threads since they are clustered and share many resources such as L1 and L2 Cache. Which means a Piledriver has 1 usable thread per cluster on a 4 core chip and will show up as 8 logical processors in windows. lol SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) is as you said a whole different ball game. The newer AMD chips use conventional SMT, but the Piledriver chips are unique and use CMT. MtDeW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
