Here are the two outputs of screenfetch and neofetch for my Kubuntu 18.04 running on Toshiba Satellite L850 Laptop. They show two different GPUs. Why does it do that?

    I am not completely familiar with how neofetch and screenfetch work internally, but if you look at the Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_7000_series

    You'll note that the 716M 40 nm transistors are codenamed Turks, which are likely what your GPU uses. Basically, one command shows the GPU family name, whereas the other one uses a more specific codename pertaining to the specific GPU model.
