AMD Readies Radeon RX 640, an RX 550X Re-brandedit
One of our readers discovered an interesting entry in the INF file of AMD’s Adrenalin 19.4.3 graphics drivers. It includes two instances of “Radeon RX 640,” and has the same device ID as the Radeon RX 550X from the current generation. The branding flies in the face of reports suggesting that with its next-generation “Navi” GPUs, AMD could refresh its client-segment nomenclature to follow the “Radeon RX 3000” series, but it’s possible that the RX 600 series was carved out to re-brand the existing “Polaris” based low-end chips one step-down (i.e. RX 550X re-branding as RX 640, RX 560 possibly as RX 650, etc.).
