How do you pronounce RADEON?

[Qbah]

Just wondering

I myself use the third option.

 

[ChaosDivine]

Heh, like the 4th option.

 

[shangshang]

I have a better question. Why the hell hasn't AMD officially listed the HD 48xx cards in their "Radeon" drivers list???!!! Did they just fire all the web guys?

 

[bunnyfubbles]

RAID-ON!

 

[bunnyfubbles]

yeah, that's a good question, but the drivers work...I guess technically those drivers were released before the 4800s were so can always stick to the install disc that came with the card...

 

[BFG10K]

Wow, blast from the past; I remember this question being asked about six years ago.

Ray-dee-on for me.

 

[Kromis]

Ray-dee-on for me as well

 

[nib95]

Ra-de-on

 

[tuteja1986]

i am disappointment in anandtech humor :! i selected Gee-Force, obviously! and to only find out i was only one that picked that option

 

[Keysplayr]

They were considering Radeoff, but their marketing dept. decided not to go with that one.

Anyway, it's pronounced Ray-dee-on. If you're a Canada native, it's Ray-dee-on ay?

Ray-dee-on :thumbsup:

AMD picked ATI over NV because ATI's product name jived with their own Opterons and Semprons . It's Ray-Dee-On.

 

[Qbah]

Hmm, seems most people say it as Ray-dee-on. Which is a bit shocking for me, cause most of my friends say it like me (Ra-de-on) or Ra-dee-on. Am I right in assuming most of the posters here are either from the US or Canada?

And please drop the bashing, this is a fun thread, not a place to start yapping about ATi's or nVidia's lack of support, sucky webpage or whatever... Thanks

Pronunciation threads never work because there are so many ways to pronounce the same spelling.
