Ever buy an AMD FX eight-core CPU in California? You may be owed up to $300
Live in California? Or, perhaps, do you buy computer processors directly from AMD.com? Did you ever pay for an AMD FX-8120, 8150, 8320, 8350, 8370, 9370, or 9590 processor?
If so, you can now submit a claim for up to $300 per CPU.
That’s because in August, AMD agreed to pay a $12.1 million class action settlement to nix a question that had been dodging it for years: whether it falsely advertised its Bulldozer and Piledriver CPUs as eight-core processors when that was something of a technicality. They did have eight cores, but those cores were spread across four “modules,” each of which only had one set of the resources you’d typical pair with a CPU core back in the day.
The market already...
