I think it is highly intentional, and rather than hilarious, it makes a lot of sense to me. Since these extensions aren't really about branding so much as they're about telling you something objective about a product, I think AMD is doing good by not reinventing this wheel for everyone to relearn.
@ Anandtech: I would LOVE for you guys to go into more details about this one, as AMD's Socket AM5 integrated graphics are definitely not the same as Intel's. All of Intel's current desktop processors are still monolithic chips, so it makes sense to sell the ones with defective graphics cores as F-series ones. For AMD though, the current desktop Zen 4 models have their GPU on the separate I/O die. How does affect idle/active power consumption of that part? Are the graphics actually defective/fused off, or is there a way to reenable them?
Or knowledge, or industry connections, or funding sadly enough. It's been in a state of decline for a long time as short video reviewers have gained the majority of the money available in the tech journalism space which AT failed to transition into when the time was ripe and cannot really afford to do now (and Future probably would with THG braning vs AT branding given the relative traffic at each of their properties' sites if they were so inclined to do more than milk the nearly skeletal cow for what they can get while the getting is still good). But yeah, look elsewhere for that kinda thing because this is mainly just a copy-pasta off a few key corporate news release sources.

It's hilarious that they would use the same suffixDolda2000 - Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - link

So long as they don't copy prefixes, I am fine with it.B series motherboard was so incredibly stupid

That's certainly interesting, but I don't think AT has the manpower at this time to do such research.PeachNCream - Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - link
