AMD is supposedly releasing a Navi-based GPU called the RX 3080. NVIDIA doesn’t like that rumor at all, for obvious reasons (read: RTX 2080). The company has filed multiple trademarks claiming ownership of the numbers 3080, 4080, and 5080 in response, a clear attempt to get AMD’s naming department to show a little more creativity.
You can’t really blame NVIDIA for
trying. AMD’s naming scheme would be enough to convince some buyers that their
cards were better due to the similar but higher designation. Things would get
even more confusing when/if NVIDIA releases their RTX 30-series.
