AMD denies false information about Radeon

In recent days appeared on the network information that ATI / AMD plans to allow for OEMs to override smart names of older graphics cards, Radeon HD series. The idea would be to rely on modifying the selected cards so that they have been detected by the respective applications as successors. And yes, some cards with a series of HD in 3000 were allegedly to be visible in the system as a line HD 4000 The plan seemed indeed diabolical. Rumors of this type have published even the biggest foreign services – for example Fudzilla. Even a few days ago appeared to signal that a “change of naming” could relate only to China and Russia.

Today, we received information from the Polish branch of the ATI / AMD, that the manufacturer would certainly have no plans of this type of activity:

“Recently, the network could read several krzywdzących news, which suggest a desire to have a firm AMD to” rebrandowania “of the ATI Radeon HD 3000 4000 We strongly distances itself from this kind of speculation, and at the same time assure you that there are no plans for such activities. Having an excellent price / performance ratio of a series of graphics cards ATI Radeon HD 3000 and 4000 will continue to exist as a separate product lines. “
