So I will ask you again: if AMD gives +10 MHz clock speed it would be legal? Or it would be legal to change old port configuration into new one? Or if would be some changes in default PCB design?

Seriously, if they are going to rebrand it, why not just lower the number by 5? Call it the RX 555 instead of the RX 560D. So people don't get confused thinking they are buying a RX 560. I mean, why are both sides so scared to use that last digit in the model number?

If AMD does something like that, it is called "rebrand". If nvidia does it, it is always called "refresh". Wonder why.................o_O

From a marketing standpoint - having a consistent naming convention - I could understand it ........... if the 560 would not already exist. But, like newtekie1 already said, this will be just confusing for the common PC user.

470D (which was slower than 470) says "hi".

It is quite in line with previous D naming.

Yes, my argument applies just as equally to the 470D. In fact, I believe I made it back when that first came out too.
