VR-Zone
has learned that the official marketing name for RV670 will be Radeon HD
3800 series. Previously, they are known as Radeon HD 2950 series. Interestingly,
one of the AIB partners has even listed out Radeon HD 3800 on their website.
Earlier, AMD has made changes to the naming of the Phenom processors and now the
changes are being made to the graphics cards too. As such, AMD has decided to
drop PRO, XT, GT, XTX from their future HD 3000 series graphics series and the
last 2 digits of the series will determine the performance of the card. RV670PRO
will be known as Radeon HD 3850 while RV670XT will be know as Radeon HD 3870
when they are launched on Nov 15th.
