All FX CPU's have 2 logical cores per physical core, making them logically having 4/6/8 but only have 2/3/4 physical cores. So that information is correct.

AMD 8-core CPU's only have 4 physical cores, but 2 logical cores per core.

The AMD FX-8350 has 4 modules with 2 cores in each module. Each 2 cores in the module will share resources. Yes, there are 8 cores in total, but they are not separate, and are not hyper-threading. This is a good cost saver for AMD.
Intel quad-core CPUs will have 4 modules with a core in each module.
