AMD looks to be set to rebrand their ATI chipsets with a new lettering scheme. As an example, the CrossFire Xpress 1600 series will become the AMD 480X CrossFire line. This change only appears to be aimed at chipsets that support their own processors.
Their general naming scheme seems to involve:
- X – multi GPU parts
- T – top end chipsets
- G – mid range chipsets
- V – budget chipets
- M prefix – mobile chipsets
This stuff always makes sense when you read it, but unless you have some compelling need to know them on a daily basis, most people look it all up when they are shopping for new hardware.
