They sold an 8 core CPU with 4 FP units. You could argue that is actually a 12 core CPU.

They sold 4-module/8-thread FX CPUs.

Each module is a pair of cores with a single FPU. That is 12 processors.

No, it's a single-core processor, with execution units grouped in 4-modules, able to process only 8 threads, if lucky

No, it was a multi core made up of 8 CPU cores paired in groups of two along with a single FPU.

Yeah, had a lady drive into my car park and rip the sill out of her car on a low wall. About a month later I got a letter from a micky mouse solicitor saying she would be pursuing me.

It's just how it is unfortunately, doesn't matter where you live. A local post man managed to trip over the only rock in the car park and decided to sue the company as he injured himself rolling over... cctv showed him rolling what must have been 15 feet continuously . So over exaggerated...
