Patch Set #9, Line 6: "Clustered MultiThreading"
This bugged me before and I didn't say anything. I'd never heard this term used while at AMD, and I suspect it was an afterthought later to try to make a disclaimer for the underwhelming performance. In fact, reading it here was the first I'd ever come across the term.
My preference would be to use the more common terminology of Compute Unit, or CU, to describe each core pair.
Patch Set #9, Line 7: replacing SMT

Patch Set #9, Line 8: models
This is uncomfortably short now. How about
Family 15h offerings matured into various models with increased performance and features targeting Enterprise, Client, and Embedded designs.
Patch Set #9, Line 15: module
Regardless of above, this is certainly called a compute unit and not a module.
Could also note that Family 15h comprises 3-chip solutions, 2, and single-chip. Devices designed to contain on-die graphics (i.e. even when they're headless) are commonly referred to as APUs, not CPUs.
