I don't hate how AMD named their new GPUs...thank god they didn't go with the RX 5070.

    What did they call them? I haven't seen any footage yet.

    @Crunchy Dragon RX 5000 series... Better than Nvidia I guess, all they added is an extra digit

    @Jurrunio It pays homage to ATI and their series naming. It's more than just adding another number.

    @dizmo but why 5000 in that case? ATI naming scheme of 4 digits started from 7000 series after ATI Rage, then they rolled back to 1000. AMD branding appeared since 6000 series so it's not matching that either

    @Jurrunio It's AMD's 50th anniversary.

    @dizmo so assuming they'll make a new series of GPUs 2 years later, they will be the RX 5200 series?

    @Jurrunio Unlikely considering the current card is called the RX 5700 ;) I imagine next will be the 6000 series.

    @dizmo sad. Though people will be like "when have you released your 50th generation of GPUs"
