Yea its the inquirer, but check it out:

ALTHOUGH SOME web sites reported that the upcoming R580 chip will come in three different versions, the fact is that R580 chip will replace the R520 line entirely. The new products will be named Radeon X1900XL, X1900XT and X1900XT CrossFire Edition. There is a rumour of another naming convention, with the names X1900XT ("T" instead of an "L"), X1900XTX (The Boss, King, Macho) and X1900XTX CrossFire Edition (albeit a little slower clocked than a big boss).

More X's please!

the sooner the better!! (for me anyway :D )

how about X1900XT-XxX Crosfire Edition? XD

[aAv7]

What retarded naming scheme's, what happened to pro/non pro. Sheesh...

X1900 Pro, X1900 Non-Pro, X1900 Crossfire

Wouldn't that be easier?

These X's, XT's, L's, etc, really aren't helping the market in the way of bringing in new pc gamers, your're just confusing the hell out of anyone even remotely thinking about making a purchase.

And killing a card after 3 months....how can they possibly be making a profit?

Maybe that's the problem. Maybe even after 3 months they just aren't making enough profit from X1800 series. Heck, there is also talk of nVidia dropping the 512MB GTX, and that's less than 3 months old.

Thank God they put more Xs in the product name. I was gtting a little worried because one X just doesn't seem powerful enough.
