Pronunciation of ATI's Radeon

[SpeedTester]

What is the proper pronunciation of ATI's Radeon?

1: Rad-E-On
2: Raid-E-On
3: Raid-On
4: Ray-dee-un
5: Other

 

[S0me1X]

I say Raid-On

 

[CHoWMiEN2o6]

I pronounce it Ray-dee-un...the interactive thing on ATi's website pronounces it in a wierd way

 

[SpeedTester]

I'll add your posts to the lineup, I never knew there were so many diffrent pronouciations.

 

[HappyGamer2]

? unsure I say it the Raid-E-On way

 

[jcmkk]

I pronounce it the same way as happy #2. I guess if you're from england then you would probably pronounce it #4.

i doubt it is pronounced raid-on, since the cancer causing particulate "Radon" is pronounced that way. there is no way ATi would allow the Radeon to be pronounced like a cancer causing agent . by the way, i (and everyone i know) says "Ray-Dee-On". the spiel on ATi's site about the radeon8500 says "Ray-Dee-On"

I'm from the UK, and all my hardware mates and I pronounce it 'rad-E-on'

 

[Theslowone]

I pronounce it ray dee on also

I pronounce it Raid-E-On, but I don't think that's the proper way. I recall seeing an explanation as to the proper pronounciation on the ATi site once... don't recall where though.

 

[CHoWMiEN2o6]

Yep that's the proper way. Goto ATi's 7500 spec site and view the Cycore 3d thing and click on the core

 

[DaLurker28]

Raid - E - On

 

[HappyGamer2]

2: Raid-E-On or is it 4: Ray-dee-un. I listen to the lady speak and I am unsure which one she saying, there both kinda close

 

[BFG10K]

Ray-dee-on.

Of course I have heard Rad-e-on too.

 

[austin316]

What about the nVidia Geforce. Is it

1. Gee Force or

2. Gay Force

 

[EdipisReks]

har har. is austin316 aw-sten-three-sicks-teen or is it dumb-ass, or perhaps lu-zer.

[jbond04]

LOL at Jacob. Austin316--don't start a flame war. That's not needed here.:disgust:

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Ray-Dee-On...

 

[HappyGamer2]

yep, I thinks it's Ray-Dee-On, more I think about that's more the way i say say it.

 

[DoucheBagMcPlus]

[BAMAVOO]

I am in Tennessee of course everyone knows it is Ray dee un

 

[DaLeroy]

[BFG10K]
