AMD promises discrete GPU levels of performance with a maximum frequency of 600MHz, 320 shader processing units and a 128-bit memory interface; all while consuming between 8 and 25 watts of power. Rather than targeting the consumer market, the company expects their ATI Radeon E4690 to find a place in arcade, casino and digital signage applications, and has pledged to support the GPU for the next five years.
Note: Updated with a presentation video after the jump.

Why is amd naming their products this way. Are they hoping I cant tell the difference between intel and amd gpu/cpus? They also did this with their high end cpus.
-
It's not for consumer markets, so naming conventions are a moot point IMO. Unless you were to find an E4xxx CPU in a slot machine at Caesar's Palace.
Looks another feather in their cap for AMD; the chip looks quite powerful on paper for the amount of power it consumes.

IMHO, it's not about copyright, as you can designate your CPU/GPU to whatever number you want, but it's more of a common sense issue.
As in there is no sense in naming their current flagship CPU, the Phenom II 940, after Intel's Core i7 940.
-
Why not? You wouldn't refer to them in the same way after all. A "940 CPU" could also refer to Intel's own Pentium D 940 as well.

Confusing product naming conventions seem to be the norm now. They just throw a tonne of all but meaningless numbers at you. E.g. Pick the naming convention for Intel processors with virtualization support.
