reported, that AMD wants to allow OEMs to rename the Radeon HD 3000 series in order to sell them as members of the HD 4000 series. Now AMD told PC Games Hardware, that this is not correct.

Even in the growing markets in
China and
Russia, where the renaming would, according to another report, take place, no phase-out models would be sold as part of the more modern series. Regardless of a delay the mainstream chips
RV710 and
RV730 will succeed the Radeon
HD 3450 and
HD 3650 cards. They are scheduled for September respectively October.
