So did AMD rip off the GTX 480 when they made the RX 480?

Yes! Only difference is GT vs. R. GT = Gran Turismo, R = Racing! RIPOFF!

Well they already use R9, R7, R5, so why not? But yeah, they should have gone with SR or even better, Z9, Z7, Z5.

i mean that might be just the Chinese name , maybe European/american names will be like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[YongKang]

When you're Chinese and can understand these leaks.  HAHAHAHAHAHA 

Folks over there seem very hopeful compare ti here.

RMB1500 is about 220USD. I wonder if I gonna see them on the market when I go back this december lol.

Anyway, if it's good performance and affordable, it's nice for the consumers.

[Doobeedoo]

Well naming scheme is good for people to compare and all, not bad. Now price, price

Your comment makes me sad, because I really want that to be a reality, but I know it never will be.

I'm not so sure choosing 3/5/7 is good for them, or simplify things for consumers: It may simplify things if and only if they also imitate Intel in terms of what 3, 5, and 7 means, which I hope they don't. But if that's the case, then yes, at least it will be a little helpful. It won't change the fact that i3/i5/i7 is terrible anyway, as it has no link to the characteristics of the product whatsoever (other than assuming higher number = better) until you learn the mapping (they could be called iA/iB/iC all the same).

I prefer their existing FX scheme, where the first number is the number of cores, and try to improve it so that all of it conveys some quick information. I do think they did a good job with their GPUs, although you still need to get the code once to understand it.

welcome to AMD

[Beskamir]

So AMD is making the successor to the Normandy SR2 but why make an SR5 and SR7

So some people are bitching about the 3, 5 and 7 names, what about the R3/R5/R7 SSDs? R5/R7 GPUs? AMD has been using these numbers for quite a long time. Does no one realise that these are probably code names and they wouldn't name CPUs these? I mean, 5 different CPUs named SR5 would be stupid.

AMD 'Zen' SR7 Blackbird Edition (Similar to Intel Extreme). Would buy just for the name. 

[Herman Mcpootis]

I have an idea for AMD now, release a sku called SR-2, codenamed 'normandy'. pair it with Mass Effect: Andromeda and a heatsink that looks sci-fi. might help it sell well 

[PocketNerd]

I personally like the naming scheme, makes it much easier to determine which one I need for which use case.

oh btw this is SR-71. Even with its engine and rocket somehow it looks cooler than AMD

It's probably easier to cool as well.

If it is, AMD will be owned by Samsung within a year.
