We wouldn't be having this conversation if AMD put "4 module" or "8 integer core" on the box instead of "8 core."My god, ffs. This stupid debate again? This is like the "Warning: Contents Hot" warning on coffee cups. What do they demand, the ALU and FPU counts be presented on the product packaging? You know what, lets just require the packaging list out every transistor and it's usage. That will clearly clarify things and will make sense to 99% of consumers, right?
I'm sorry to say it, but when consumers, generally speaking, don't know what's even inside a CPU or how it works, they're not really giving two shits weather or not the FPU is shared, what it's width is, or if it's two FPUs slapped together with FMA. If you try to explain floating point versus fixed point math to someone and the situations in which they're used and how it impacts performance, most people's eyes will glaze over because they don't know what the hell you're talking about. AMD needs to dumb it down to language that a typical consumer can understand. This isn't false advertising. This is someone who is still butt hurt over AMD producing a garbage CPU and using it as an opportunity to make some money.
We already know the FX CPUs where garbage. We don't need to dwell over that, but when push comes to shove, you can have a CPU without floating point units, you can't have a CPU without ALUs and AGUs.
...by the way, 2012 called. It wants its CPU back.
They did. With FX they redefined what a core was. Like you said if they did it once they can do it again.

core = independent CPU
Always was, always will be*.
* Except Bulldozer, Steamroller, and Piledriver but AMD is about to get bitch slapped for that mistake.
AMD made Microsoft count sockets instead of processors because each socket could house more than one processor (described as a core). It is accurate to describe 2700X as an 8 processor product. It is inaccurate to describe FX-8350 as an 8 processor product because there's only 4 independent processors in it.
