Since everyone is within the return period and purchased from AMD.com I think you guys have the right to know that your product only comes with a 1 year warranty that is none transferable, has no shipping included and is way more restrictive than normal warranties.

Looking under this act, because AMD specified these scenarios, AMD protect themselves from warrantying your product because consumers are given the benefit of the doubt normally.
Any warrantor warranting a consumer product to a consumer by means of a written warranty must disclose, fully and conspicuously, in simple and readily understood language, the terms and conditions of the warranty to the extent required by rules of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC has enacted regulations governing the disclosure of written consumer product warranty terms and conditions on consumer products actually costing the consumer more than $5. The Rules can be found at 16 C.F.R. Part 700.
Under the terms of the Act, ambiguous statements in a warranty are construed against the drafter of the warranty.
Likewise, service contracts must fully, clearly, and conspicuously disclose their terms and conditions in simple and readily understood language.
