It seems like the trend of rebranding reaches Ati, too, because AMD's graphics card section will, in accordance to demands of OEMs, rename the HD 3xx0 models to HD 4xx0.
Because appropriate value shipments of the
RV710 and
RV730 cannot be delivered in time, AMD will, according to
Fudzilla, rename the HD 3000 series. With a new BIOS, OEMs are said to be able to sell cards of the HD 34x0, HD36x0 and HD38x0 series as members of the HD 4xx0 family. The name
HD 4250 is rumored and it is assumed that the original
RV710 will be called
HD 4450.
