Analysts also say Nvidia?s competitive advantage is only likely to increase when it moves its Volta chip architecture, launched last year and only currently present in data-center GPUs, into gaming chips later this year. The new GPU gaming chip, code-named Turing, is expected to be unveiled next month. Even without it, Nvidia?s revenue from gaming rose 29 percent to $1.74 billion in the fourth quarter, accounting for more than half of its total revenue.

Possibly a trademark issue, as there's an ARM vendor called Ampere Computing?

Man if you read the whole article...the mind games nvidia is capable of with just a name is mind blowing. The whole article is speculation.
No one really knows anything - except maybe a few people on these boards who are more than likely under strict NDA.

I still find it difficult to understand what's going on in the minds of the average PC enthusiast.
It's not like it's quantum physics.

A simpleton with a few years of PC building and reading reviews experience would know what to expect.
It's not like the sun will stop shining.
A new GPU will be announced.
Its name is of no matter.
The performance matters.
If you follow the patterns, every new year the last 4 (?) the new "xx60" GeForce is on par or even slightly faster than the previous generation's xx80 "Ti".

Given AMD's failure to compete in any conceivable way and aspect, you can expect the cutting down of the top dog card to become even more obvious.
However, because nVIDIA is smart, it won't release a new top dog that is just 5-10% faster than it's current top gaming card.

Name means nothing but there are people earning money by convincing people that it is. And this people are the %90 of the sites, blogs, reviewers, youtubers etc. etc. we see on the internet.
