Wrong display adapter name being displayed

[MizARe3]

Okay, as I am a noob to literally everything about computer, I will go over the things i know.

I've downloaded the AMD Driver autodetect application, ran it and installed the latest driver. My laptop was equipped with a Radeon R5 M230, but when I look back at the device manager, It's now turned into a Radeon HD 8500M. How is that happening? Should I roll back my driver to the old one? The old driver is 13.201.1.0, while the one it recommends is 14.12.

Any replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Specs:
Windows 8.1
Intel Core i5-4210U
Radeon R5 M230 (Or is it?)
8GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive

I wouldn't worry, the r5 230m *is* the HD 8570 so its probably just the software misreading the situation

Since it is only because of the rebranding, I shouldn't be worried about it. Am i correct?

Yeah, don't worry. You've done the right thing making sure your drivers are up to date. Only worry about it if you suddenly have a huge drop in gaming performance or something.

Like I said earlier, they are the same chip anyway, the r5 230m is simply higher clocked
