      If anything this seems to be on brand with manufacturers naming things confusingly to lead people to believe the chip is higher end.

        But what it leads to is people spending less on cheap chips they think are good, and then thinking AMD is shit because their $85 chip isn’t as good as the $400 they thought they were buying.

        Then not buying AMD again.

          Remember when Intel naming was so clear for over a decade? I was always respect Intel for that. Now they’re pulling the same confusing shit like everyone else.

    Should have sold it as is. They have no competition right now. Typo edition, $5 less or even $5 more. Doesn’t matter.

      I bet if they increase the price, numbered it, and call it something like Limited Oopsie Edition, it would sell like hotcakes.

    If it’s just a silkscreen issue hopefully they can just remove the ink somehow (laser?) and print a new label.
