India is a shit hole and has a lot of those things, so it's hardly surprising they think those are good names.

We're talking about a country that worships toilets with flowers and burning scents and then goes to squat shits out on the streets and pavements.

Perhaps you'd care to explain your issues with Zen, Deneb, Thuban, Heka, Regor, Kabini, Kaveri, Richland, Jaguar, Carrizo, Fiji, Tonga, Hawaii, Greenland, Mullins, Beema, Trinity, Llano, Pitcairn, Bonaire, Cape Verde, Tahiti, Scrapper, Devastator, Beaver Creek, Winter Park, Whistler, Capilano, Seymour, Cypress and Hemlock while you're at it?

Its Vishera, not Vichera.
AMD's codenames for product lines for the last few years have been rivers.
The Bulldozer based FX CPUs belong to the Zambezi line. The Piledriver chips belong to the Vishera line. This extended to the APUs as well beginning with Llano. They're all names of rivers.

The GPU codenames for GCN have been Islands; Southern, Sea, Volcanic. They've only recently changed with 4th generation GCN being named Polaris.
>>
>>52326186
These are all fedora tier names for CPUs/GPUs.
>>
>>52326205
Polaris is arctic islands. They're just calling the underlying architecture Polaris to distinguish it from earlier GCN cards.
>>
>>52326228
They're not internally calling it arctic islands, they've moved away from the island naming scheme all together. They even went so far as to rerelease their reference guide for Volcanic Islands and changed the names.
Anything referencing arctic islands is an internet rumor.

>naming things appropriately

What's wrong? Bulldozer and the others can move a lot, but they're slow at doing it. They are named appropriately.

>>52328755
I don't even like Nvidia, but you have to admit that there are much worse naming schemes for GPUs than famous physicists.
>>
>>52326186
Two of the architectures are named after indian rivers. Kaveri, Godaveri.

>>52328755
Pascal is French.
From the Latin Paschalis meaning of or relating to easter.

Vishera is a Russian river faggot.
