I think they had to make that change because there was a Radeon 9700 back in the ATI days or something. I just wish they hadn't done the RX thing. Because those charts where people compare GPU performance will have legends like:

RX-7600 RTX-5060 RX-9060XT TXT-6060RXT TVX-5040T RTX-4060

and you say "There's no consistency with generation or manufacturer and I'm pretty sure one of those is the part number of a cylinder head for a Toyota Tacoma.
