Posted April 18, 2015 As I was showering, I realized that I've been upgrading to rebadged graphics cards the last 2 upgrades (9800gt and the 7950/280). As I was thinking of how each company rebadge their products, I realized that I wasn't aware of any rebadges coming from Intel.

Posted April 18, 2015 *insert your username* Okay, that was a good one, but sometimes it makes sense. Previous top of the line cards can be great mid-range cards when the new line of cards come out. I believe AMD did this with the 280 among others. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/350269-intel-appreciation-thread/#findComment-4765090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pentium III: 1998-2008 in various forms, such as the Pentium M, Celeron M, Core Duo Yonah line. Intel is the king of rebadges-even if they were on a different manufacturing process with slightly improved instruction sets, they were made using the same architecture.

I believe AMD did this with the 280 among others. But yeah, the R9 (and R7) series of GPU's from AMD are good graphics cards, even though they are rebrands. It's just that people want new ad better performing stuff for their hard earned pennies and not buy some 'new' product that turns out to be a year old already.

If a top tier card is rebadged as a midrange card the price will go down.

Usually the "new" cards hav some improvements like better coolers and better clocks. They arent just rebadged, they are clearly improved. Even if it causes some confision, the benefits outweigh the downsides imo.

Even if it causes some confision, the benefits outweigh the downsides imo. A better cooler and faster clockspeed is not a compelling reason to upgrade. It's like upgrading to a card with the same chipset, just from a different board manufacturer. LTT's unofficial Windows activation expert.
