Naming

[We Didnt_t start_the_fire]

Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta, Turing, Ampere, Lovelace, than logically the next-next gen should be Babbage. 

I couldn't find any logic to it names other than if the next-next gen is Babbage. I was watching some electric eels research and come across a Michael Faraday quote and though for whatever reason that Nvidia had never named an GPU after Faraday. Maybe they are reserving it to be something really big. The name is not in chronological order or year nor discoveries successions and neither are pure math or physics but together nor electricity. 

 

Here is my hypothesis on how the name is done, Jensen with his leather jackets on shoots darts at an board or whatever science name that is in his mind at any particular naming time or something with that name come crossed him in his desk or somewhere. (Excerpt the last one for next gen, which may be an smaller pool of name choices to highlights)

 

What do you think? Or have you notice any trend or logics behind it? Even the darker ones or for fun put some logic to it by any stretch.

They're named after historically important scientists/mathematicians etc..

Read my post, I know that. Just a though that came across me that they didn't had Faraday as a name yet and trying to estabilish an logic. Read my post in full.

He probably did. You said yourself there's no logic to it, and the idea you came up with is just as illogical as any other someone could make up off the top of their head.

Should have been doing them in revers chronological order or something, there isn’t any order to it and that bugs me.

Exactly my thinking. Not as much as ''bother me'' as you are, still did clearly because of this post. But would be nice to have a pattern and trying to come up with one is fun (by any stretch)

 

It's New Year, time to release any ''creativity'' about the naming

I think AMD is doing that for APUs. painters death dates

Hopper is the next rumored name.  from 2010 to 2015 it was the name of a Cray XE6 supercomputer at NERSC/LBNL back when Opterons were fast

Very inconsistent though. and started last 2000 series or so. Verneer isn't APU and rumored to be Deskop so inconsistent there unless they both go wiht painters name. I do wonder how there marketing will be assuming they get the rights if they will come out with Bob Ross. 

 

Only one that has been still jsut after 2017 is there Epyc line or Italian city names. Naple-Rome-MIlan. From to bottom and have to be big cities. 

BTW, I would like to see Tuscany in it, favorite city in Italia.
