Nvidia's roadmap for microarchitecture names goes way back. I can google up NVidia Ampere mentions in 2017.

  I think it was rumours in 2017 with an actual announcement later but in any event I'm not sure using a name on a slide has the same weight as using for a real product being bought by customers. How long were Ampere planning to use the name before 2017 and then does Nvidia using it on a slide in a presentation force them to change it? Still think Nvidia would lose on this one.

    How about companies stop co-opting the names of famous scientists? Have a little more creativity.

      To be fair, naming things is a pain. It's the same problem we have naming software/services (i.e. the neverending "Show HN"/launch posts with comments "this name conflicts with the following multiple other things").
