Re: Advertising
The problem with this case is that AMD were completely accurate but despite this were sued and had to make a pay out.
I agree. They were accurate in the description of the CPU as it did have 8 integer cores. The fact that they shared pretty much everything else between 2 was explicitly stated all over the place: In their marketing material, their technical documentation, all the reviews etc.
It is likely that the people who should be sued are the sales bods who sold the computers to non-technical people. They'll have pushed the "it's got 8 thingys, whereas that one's only got 4" line.
