Abandonment of the sTRX4 platform (2019)

[edit | edit source]
Main article: link to the main article

On November 25, 2019, AMD released socket sTRX4 alongside their Threadripper 3000 series of HEDT (high-end desktop) processors with the promise of long term support for the platform.[2][3] This along with the strong reputation of socket AM4 led many people to invest into the platform. Despite the promises made, AMD ultimately fell flat and only supported a total of one generation of CPUs before freezing the regular Ryzen Threadripper lineup till the release of Threadripper 7000 on socket sTR5.

"Bulldozer" CPU false advertisement lawsuit (2015-2019)

[edit | edit source]

AMD settled the lawsuit with a $12.1 million payout, which is estimated to have compensated up to $35 per applicant that could give a proof of purchase. The complaint was about the Bulldozer processors being marketed as the "first native 8-core desktop processor," while this was allegedly false advertising. The CPU has 4 modules with each 2 sub-processors that shared resources instead of 8 independent cores that could perform separately and simultaneously.[4][5] And it was demonstrated that the alleged customer damages caused by the allegedly misleading claims can be measured on a class-wide basis.[6]
