AMD's product naming schemes have been all over the place for a while now, but you have to give the red team some credit for this one. After all, the previous-generation discrete GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture were the Radeon RX 7000 series, and then the RDNA 3.5 GPU on Ryzen AI MAX is apparently the Ryzen 8000...
