Wait, did the guy refuse to call AMD's 9070 by its official name out of spite there at the end? Is this a weird tech The Onion thing?
AMD, as usual, misses an opportunity here. The 5xxx series is exactly Fermi again (they even removed hotspot data so reviewers would miss the throttling). AMD could leverage the nostalgia of one of ATI's best gens and call the cards 9700 and 9700pro. Damn, those were the days. (since 4750 conflicts with current scheme)
Probably a mistake, considering the current generation follows the RX 7_00 naming pattern.
What type of news editor for a hardware review outlet gets that wrong? That's as weird as the Snowden thing. If you have that job you've surely been joking about AMD's shameful "we just want to use the same name as Nvidia" thing for ages by now. This thing is so surreal.
