AMD sued by costumer over missinterpratation of "multicore"
http://legalnewsline.com/stories/510646458-amd-faces-suit-over-alleged-misrepresentation-of-new-cpu [legalnewsline.com]
2011 AMD released the Bulldozer architecture, with a somewhat untraditional implementation of the "multicore" technology.
Now, 4 years later, they are sued for false advertising, fraud and other "criminal activities"...
from TFA:
In claiming that its new Bulldozer CPU had “8-cores,” which means it can perform eight calculations simultaneously, AMD allegedly tricked consumers into buying its Bulldozer processors by overstating the number of cores contained in the chips. Dickey alleges the Bulldozer chips functionally have only four cores—not eight, as advertised.
Try the Moo Shu Pork. It is especially good today.
