Yep nothing like confusing the customer by having a weaker card have a higher model number….

I mean this is literally what every GPU series has done for like two decades now but okay…

All GCN 4.0? That's interesting, the 520 they're replacing is only “1st Gen GCN”

I'm disappointed by the option for DDR3 on the 620, even modern CPUs don't use that stuff

I know, just like NVidia's naming scheme, where the 2060 is more powerful than the 1080. Er, wait a minute…

but that's not a rebrand is it….

Never seen a single review of these chips/cards , How does the rx540 in the intel Hasbean canyon NUC compare to ?? anything else .
DDr3 is bad , review the gddr5 version and then get sold the ddr3 ..disappointment: Grrr:
