You can't simply use a "number greater than N" comparison, due to what we call "Rebrandeon" :D i.e. models identical to an older generation getting new numbers, for the low-end models. You have to look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Radeon_HD_7000_series and check the Architecture column. Yep, HD7730 is Cape Verde, all good. (While HD8350-8490 and R5 220-235X are TeraScale rebrands.) P.S.
