Growing sick of the trend of naming companies after famous scientists...

Just as soon as my Kardashian is charged up, I'll swing by your place to drop off the new samples of the 128-core Bieber X.

You know that's a unit of electricity as well, right?

And?

and he/she is growing sick of that, apparently

A "he" apparently... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9-Marie_Amp%C3%A8re

He would be spinning in his grave. Which would generate an AC current.

He would be well grounded though having no effective voltage. Bad joke, although, it has potential .

Just as good as using famous authors I suppose

Why? What should they name it after instead?
Re:Ampere Altra 80-core ARM CPU by posterboy on Tuesday March 03, 2020 @12:52PM (#22476901)
innovation, not copying anyone?
Re:Ampere Altra 80-core ARM CPU by derision on Tuesday March 03, 2020 @05:54PM (#22479519)
There's billions of products in existence. I don't think each one having an "innovative" name provides any value at all. And copying is the highest form of flattery. If I had spent my life researching electricity and found out the most innovative company in the electric vehicle and battery industry was named after me I would feel quite proud

That sounds like a recipe for names like Innotek and Infobang.
