Clever name, simultaneously looking like NVIDIA but sounding like Via resurrected.

I saw the VIA in there. Didn't make the connection to nVidia. It felt like it invoked VIA and NUMA.

It made me wonder if it was a VIA spinoff; maybe licensing some of the interdependently developed x86_64 IP they bought with Cyrix from the entire Via C6 era.

It just reminds me of a female contraceptive device.

Via still exists. Maybe they could have gone with Nucyrix? Although that kind of sounds like a prescription drug.

I think Via owns all the IP for Cyrix. If there's no partnership here, I wonder if VIA is going to hit them with a trademark dispute.
