A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD” or “Defendant”), alleging it violated the law by misrepresenting the number of “cores” in certain of its AMD FX CPUs.
You are included if you purchased one or more of the following AMD CPUs either (1) while residing in California or (2) after visiting the AMD.com website (or both): FX-8120, FX-8150, FX-8320, FX-8350, FX-8370, FX-9370, or FX-9590.
Those who file claims will be eligible to receive a pro rata portion of the Settlement Fund, up to $300 per CPU purchased. If you do not have proof of your purchase(s), you may not make a claim for any more than five (5) CPUs.
IF you happened to have a free account at AMD, before purchasing one of the CPUs listed above... you don't need proof of purchase.
IF you fit the description in the quote, you should recieve either an email or some post card type forms in the regular mail.
On Feb 20th 2020, the court will have the Final Approval Hearing (the settlement in this case has already been reached), and the checks will go out in the following 60 days.
In the email version of this notice there is a TYPO saying you must file a claim form (provided at the website above) before Jan 3rd 2019. This is incorrect. As you can see (at the website above), the actual final filing date is Jan 3rd 2020.
There is NO cost involved in filing, and there are NO legal fees involved.
/e I received the email on the 27th and the regular mail cards on the 29th of this month. It seems they are STILL emailing and mailing those that qualify.
/ee For those concerned about the authenticity of this... you can just Google the case number in the link provided.
