>Nvidia has filed before the European Union Intellectual Property Office for ownership of the numbers 3080, 4080 and 5080 in an attempt to stop AMD from using the nomenclature for the red chipmaker's upcoming Navi gaming graphics cards.
>Nvidia felt threatened when the rumor got out that AMD could use the RX 30-series branding for its Navi offerings, such as RX 3080, RX 3070 and RX 3060. For one, Navi would definitely overshadow Nvidia's Turing graphics cards, which are currently marketed under the RTX 20-series. Normal logic says that the higher the model number, the better. An uninformed buyer would think that an RX 3060 is faster than an RTX 2060.
>By filing for the 3080, 4080 and 5080 trademarks in the graphics world, Nvidia hopes to discourage AMD from using the 30-series for Navi while also ensuring its future for at least another two generations of graphics cards.
Or just call it RX 6080, just to fuck with Nvidia.
Michael Hughes
I definitely prefer AMD, but trying to hijack everyone's naming conventions is retarded.
Just like with Ryzen- AMD's system made more sense, then they switched to a more asinine one.
Brayden Allen
Ah yes but nvidias gtx 9800 in no way could be construed as better than a 4870, for instance
David Perry
Nigga just change a few numbers around >rx 3800 >rx 4800 >rx 5800
Angel Phillips
This is probably what AMD will do.
Nicholas Gonzalez
>I definitely prefer AMD, but trying to hijack everyone's naming conventions is retarded. they are not trying to hijack anything. 3000 series on the cpus, 3000 series on the gpus.
Oh man this is going to be good. This is going to be like that one time Disney tried to copyright The Day Of The Dead festival. Oh man, like copyrighting Christmas.
>Why is this allowed? I don't think it is, seeing as how Intel chose the Pentium name instead of 80586 precisely because numbers can't be trademarked.
Logan Jackson
This reminds me of that 1 time some retarded CEO tried to trademark the concept of livestreaming games/ let's plays.
I can't remember who it was...
Henry Campbell
So I'm never getting my 1180ti? Fuck Nvidia
Adam Carter
can't wait to buy my Radeon 1488 GPU
Dominic Wilson
In what country you can trademark a fucking number?
Jacob Williams
Idk why its allowed for amd to copy nvidia skews ever gen to trick people into buying their space heaters. Clearly this is not in the consumers best intrest for amd to copy skew numbers to mislead consumers.
Caleb Ross
Its a copy right of a brand name fucktard and "rx 3080" is not a number its a string
Jason Miller
Sorry i meant they copied intels b350 skew forcing them to do b360 and now they want to copy nvidias skew. Really fucking sad desu.
Andrew Phillips
What's up Jen Hsun?
Evan Thompson
Also copied the nonsensical Core i3/5/7
Jordan Johnson
Too weak to stand on their own products and branding
Cameron Carter
>nvidia naming a graphics card after a shitty dota2 team yikes and bluepilled
Austin Powell
you could do it in france. Peugeot trademarked all the x0x; x=[1,9] because the 0 in the middle was a great place to put the starter lever and you could avoid having "ugly" holes on the front of the car. but that was 100 years ago.
according to the article, they are trying to trademark the number. novidia is claiming that samsung has the galaxy s9 and apple has the iphone 9s and their idiots would mistake the samsung for the iphone. it seems to me that novidia knows their audience, novidiots, and their are trying to pee on thheir brand name, like dogs do to corners.
Noah Johnson
I would prefer AMD sticking with something more consistent like having an R11 680.
Still, jumping from 500 to 3000 makes more sense than 900/1000/2000-1600
Where the fuck did the 1600 name come from anyway?
Liam Thomas
It makes sense to copy the more well known naming convetion of your competitor so people know without thinking what's comprable to what
Aaron Moore
>according to the screenshot of a click b8 article written by Zhiye Liu on poojeet website false pretense
Someone must force RTG to pick and keep with naming pattern.
Jackson Johnson
Sure if all you care about is shilling and misleading people into buying your product by accident. The normal amdrone agenda. Get tricked, try to cope, trick others, cope together
Lincoln Green
Didn't someone make a post a few days ago of them trying to do this in the US?
Mason Murphy
>Still, jumping from 500 to 3000 makes more sense than 900/1000/2000-1600 I said above >3000 series on the cpus, 3000 series on the gpus.
Samuel Wood
He's right though. With Intel at least Ryzen was on par in multi-threaded performance and a better value. Right now RTG is losing every battle above $200 as well as the entire laptop market. inb4 some amdtard goes on about how it's unfair the 1050ti outsells the 570, it's because of laptops.
Hunter Russell
3080,5 and 4080,5... kek
Jose Cooper
You can trademark anything if it's for a specific purpose. Fucking Cadbury has the colour purple trademarked for chocolate packaging.
Connor Davis
Guess I'll get myself an RX 8800000XX Xeforce Extreme ZZZZ v.9000 - RGB compatible.
Chase Rodriguez
>Why is this allowed? Because america is high on crooked jewpitalism. Embrace the free market, intellectual """""properties""""" is a immoral and anti-intellectual statist fraud.
Jonathan Fisher
>>Nvidia has filed before the European Union Intellectual Property Office
Daniel Stewart
It's not legal in the US, only the EU
Henry Moore
This would be very based.
Joseph Nguyen
AHAHAHAHZAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA DESPERATE! THEY ARE FUCKING DESPERATE TO DELAY THE INEVITABLE!
>Get tricked, try to cope, trick others, cope together That sure made me think. How's your hyperthreading by the way?
Aiden Reed
it was funny when it was minor shit like chipset names but now it's just pathetic
Angel Kelly
Unless AMD plans to release new CPUs and GPUs at the same time from now and forever in the future, it's absolutely retarded to claim matching number scheme.
Colton Williams
FineBros tried copyrighting reaction videos due to their "reacts to" series despite it not even being original. They lost a huge amount of subs and their view count fell dramatically afterwards.
Justin Sanders
AMD can just release the Navi cards as RX3850, RX3750 and RX3650.
>tricked Literally nobody had bought AMD by accident, ever. The amount of shilling and retardation by retailers prevents that.
Logan Howard
real world in game fps benchmark videos on youtube are the only thing that matters. amd could release a card called the gaycard 1, wouldn't matter
Liam Edwards
Is naming it the RX ThirtyEighty allowed, if for some reason the numbers themselves are trademarked? It could be some loophole they can use for giggles.
Jaxon Perez
This is the retardation of '''''''intellectual property'''''''''' Jesus f'ing Christ, I fucking hate Trademarks. This is just childish and absolutely stupid. God I hate corporations and hope the lawyers all die of cancer or get raped in the ass by a hung negro. Aaaargh, my prose isn't good enough to express my feelings at this moment. FUCK NVIDEA
>It could be some loophole they can use for giggles. 3081
Aiden Turner
No, I mean keep it exactly the same number, except just using the words instead the numbering system. It would make the whole thing look more pointless for Nvidia and more embarrassing that way.
Julian Flores
>Normal logic says that the higher the model number, the better. An uninformed buyer would think that an RX 3060 is faster than an RTX 2060. So normal = retarded now? >inb4 now
most people who buy video cards are unironically retarded
they couldn't tell you the difference between an ALU and an FPU, or which vendor has a better fixed-function video code block
Connor Flores
Millions have been trolled into fx cpus because it had "8 cores" (class action lawsuit proved to a judge otherwise)
Wyatt Bailey
Hello, yes, I would like two RX 8080 please.
Easton Sullivan
AMD continues to try to trick customers with stealing the nomenclature of successful companies. What nvidia did here is good for the customer because this way they don't accidentally buy an inferior amd product.
It's america, they are so corrupted and mentally retarded that they would actually let you do that.
Jayden Russell
I'm just done with them, their linux drivers are absolute dogshit and the amount of time I've lost troubleshooting them is vastly outweighed by how much time/energy I might have saved during my model training
with AMD I "dpkg -i amd.deb" or "rpm -i amd.rpm" and I'm done.
Lincoln Reed
Ryzen is what people are focusing on in $current_year and it has nothing to do with FX CPUs. Also this thread is about GPUs.
Nvidia has been using the X080 naming scheme for a long long time. Post proof that their motivation was to hinder AMD and not just to protect their own brand and make sure that AMD didn't squat on those trademarks that Nvidia intended to use.
Cameron Edwards
Move the goalpost more poonigger not all of use are zoomers who are clueless of amds shitty past
Oliver Jones
Just add RX and it differentiates it.
Jordan Stewart
RX is too close to RTX and could cause market confusion which is one of the things that trademarks are supposed to prevent
Aaron Wilson
Radeon should be enough
Jaxson Anderson
RX 3086 intel and nvidia at the same time
Logan Adams
>you can trademark numbers now the state of this world
Oliver Roberts
>claiming legal ownership over random numbers Copyright laws are the greatest fucking kikery this world has ever seen.
Henry Adams
based
James Roberts
Couldn't they just go back to the old ATI day? 7xxx, SE, Pro and XT.
Ryder Hughes
The 1600s are literally just stopgap cards Nvidia shit out to compete with the Radeon VII. They had already release the 2000 line and had to release a dialed back Turing. They didn't want to name it something like "2040" because that makes it sound TOO budget when it's more midrange.
Precisely because AYYMD has historyically been shown to copy both Intel and Nvidia naming schemes to try and place their product numbering "higher" to trick unwitting consumers who only understand "higher number = good!" see
Jose Rivera
I'm guessing that the copyright in this case would only apply for similar products, so graphic cards. You can also copyright colors and it works that way so i assume it's something similar.
Adrian Williams
5080 confirmed. nvidia not closing down in 3 years!
Noah Bailey
>You can also copyright colors what? this is beyond retarded, what are they going to copyright next? number of electrons in material? typing this made me realize they probably will when the material science reaches that point.
Parker Cox
>ownership of the numbers What kind of fucked up world are we living in? I thought after intel failed to copyright letter i, people would stop with this stupid shit.
I can't believe I'm saying this but Intel probably has the best numbering system. It has worked for them for the past 10 years. And yes, it's a extremely misleading with their bullshit ULV cpus and variations, but at least I can tell what year it came out, how powerful it might be, and what to expect, even with all of the changes including their introduction of the fanless cpus. When I buy a computer, usually the entire processor model is spelled out clearly. To the average consumer, sure, they won't know shit. But for most of us it isn't that hard to figure out
But for most companies, they always fuck up the numbering and models. Apple in particular is probably the worst. "muh early 2018 Macbook pro with i5 processor!" uh i5 what? oh, it's a ULV processor, how the fuck does that qualify for being "pro" in any way?
