RX(gpu) is before RY, and RY stands for RY-zen(architecture). 

Did I figure out AMD's naming method for their mainline products?

I thought it was RX because X = 10 and the previous (two gens of) videocards were R9.

(R9 390x, etc.)

 

Surely the Ryzen name had something to do with the RX name.. These companies seem quite smart with their naming.

AMD copied a ''FX'' model name from nVidia
