If it inspires reading of "Voyage to Arcturus" I'm all for it. ;-)

I guess certain special names could be used for special situations.

What about a "killer" generation?

This one is 大角星 and killer will be 天狼星

About next products guys from shanghai chiphell.com forums seems rumoring the best, but for that knowledge of chinese is needed or at least some translator

We are picking randomly within a category (bright stars) so that the name doesn't convey too much information about the product.

Before Polaris/Vega the internal code names were unrelated to the eventual marketing names - we're trying to get back to that for open source driver code to make pre-launch upstreaming easier.

Michael has to thank you for the additional traffic :-)

Yeah, at least reddit policy has gone back to allowing linking to Phoronix rather than requiring posters to copy the source info from Phoronix but not mention them.

Which post?

... but when I saw that the article had already been picked up on reddit I closed off the discussion there and restored my post here.

Oh, no Sirius Sam yet

But yeah i guess they should keep brightest star name for the one if they plan to really kill nVidia
