I don't care which codename a GPU carries, what matters to me is this: We're getting open source support from AMD before hardware is even released.
I'm looking forward for these new GPU's, so thanks AMD for the support.

And yes, I recognize that this represents an opportunity to hack our code names. Please keep it family-friendlyLast edited by bridgman; 07 October 2020, 11:52 PM.

Codenames are codenames. Their purpose is always to provide clarity internally - to those in the know - and confusion to those externally. Because that helps keep things that are in development secret. nVidia uses great physicists/mathematicians, Intel uses geographic locations, AMD uses... well, anything they want. Looking back at AMD/ATis history, they rarely seem to use a codename for a generation; normally for a segment of a generation. Previous codenames from ATIs days include "superman" and "piglet". So naming things after an island chain, or fish? Not so bad after all.

because this shows interest in the company and its products.
the result of the crazy codenames is maybe: i skip any amd news and buy a dog instead and quit computer gaming as a hobby. so it maybe does not turn out to be what is the purpose of your crazy codenames.
ng better support on or before hardware release.
And seriously, who cares of codenames. They are not product name and trying to make sense of a name is not mecessarily a good idea.

The development codenames are awful, but at least AMD has gotten better with release model numbers lately. I hope they shot the marketer that came up with "R9 280X"
