AMD Unveiled April Fools' Surprises

[idle.man5216]

In a recent visit to the ATI Vendor IDs page (http://ati.amd.com/developer/vendorid.html), AMD listed out the complete listing of its Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series lineup, of which a few items stood out to my eyes.

Product	Core	Device ID
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3400 Series	M72	95C4
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3430	M72	95C2
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3650	M76	9591
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3850	M76	9504
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3850 X2	M76	9506
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3870	M76	9508
ATI Mobility ATI Radeon™ HD 3870 X2	M76	9509

Could that be some kind of surprise or they are just April fools' joke?
If not does that mean that the Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series graphics cards are capable of CrossFire X? We saw the ASUS "Trinity", a truly monsterous product prototype, and I hope that these Mobility X2s will be some great weapons to help AMD/ATI to gain back the mobile market.

P.S. The attachment is an ATI Device ID file obtained from ATI website on April 1st, 2008.

Wow a 3870X2 on a laptop. That would be cool.

I would not be surprised if its the real thing as there are many notebooks with SLI and at 55nm ATI can cool its dual card much easier
