Sure, but the way Nvidia names generations is far from obvious. It seems to be “names of famous scientists, progressing in alphabetical order, we skip some letters if we can’t find a well known scientist with a matching last name and are excited about a scientist 2 letters from now, we wrap around to the beginning of the alphabet when we get to the end, and we just skipped from A to H, so expect another wraparound in the next 5-10 years.”

Then we had Ampere which was dual market. And then split again with Lovelace on the consumer side and Hopper for data centers. Just guessing here, obvi.
