Up to $300 BUT only up to how much you paid, so for you, at most $64.99, and if everybody makes their claim, it is likely much less.

Free money is free money xD

Yes and no. I suspect your claim will be rejected due to the date of purchase. The initial lawsuit was made in 2015, and these chips haven't been sold by AMD for many years, what you bought was "old new" stock, that has been laying on a shelf for years. What I can't find however is the cutoff date for purchases. Now that a settlement has been made, it doesn't make sense you can buy chips and have them reimbursed, getting them for free, just "because you can". The entire point of the settlement is to reimburse people that paid for the chips not knowing what they were getting, but once the lawsuits were filed, and the chips were no longer being sold by AMD, it will be hard to make this claim. But hey, you may get something.

Heard it had to be a purchase from the AMD site. How many buy theirs directly?

No, you had to a) live in California or B) visit the AMD.com site BEFORE purchasing

glad to see this is on here and more or less validated. I just got the email a few minutes ago.

If you don't do it, the lawyers pocket the remaining cash (I also got it this morning and submitted my claim).

Just submitted my form. Whatever I get I'm putting it straight back into AMD

I wonder why this lawsuit was only about FX-8XXX, like when they agree to pay the owners because it's not a real 8-core why shouldn't they pay the FX-6XXX owners because it's not a real 6-core or the FX-4XXX owners because it's not a real 4-core?

The real question is, why did you order an FX processor in 2019?

$65 for a mid-range cpu is pretty bang for the buck eh. It's $200 now on Newegg.

Explain

High chance he'll get less than what he paid

LOL it wasn't an investment in the first place but free money so why not.

How is it free money if you get the same amount, or less, back?

and if enough people participate in this it might be worth $3...
AMD has agreed to pay max total of 12m.
Aaaayy out-of-nowhere reimbursement, I'll take it.
And that 12m, IIRC is including the lawyers' cut and court fees.
oof
