The Radeon 8500 became the product of ATI's low-end market before the next generation of products, resulting in a variety of vest and castrated cards, such as: Radeon 9000, 9000 Pro, 9100, 9200 and 9250, etc. It is based on the evolution of the R200 core of the Radeon 8500.
ATI Radeon 9250
In general, the Radeon 9100 is actually a vest version of the Radeon 8500, while the Radeon 9000 and Radeon 9000Pro use the castrated RV250 core, the Radeon 9200 and the Radeon 9250 are the RV280 core (an additional vertex based on the RV250) It is difficult to distinguish the performance level from the model name. However, at the time, this could also be seen as a market strategy of ATI at the time, and it was a last resort.
