NVIDIA'S NEXT CHIPS ARE NAMED AFTER VERA RUBIN, ASTRONOMER WHO DISCOVERED DARK MATTER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Most of Nvidia's most recent GPU architectures have been named after famous women scientists. Its next critical AI chip platform will be named after Vera Rubin, an American astronomer. Rubin discovered a lot of what is known about dark matter. Nvidia has been naming its architectures after scientists since 1998. It has never explained its naming convention and hasn't emphasized the diversity aspect of its choices, but its names are one of the most visible efforts in the tech industry to honor diversity.
