Investors are keenly watching Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA) ahead of its annual GTC conference<\/a> on March 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Jensen Huang \u2013 chief executive of the AI darling is broadly expected to offer more colour on the company\u2019s latest Rubin architecture at the annual event.<\/p>\n

Nvidia named its upcoming Rubin chips after the American astronomer, Vera Rubin, who\u2019s contributions to the study of dark matter were rather significant in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, Rubin is not the only chip that NVDA has named after women in science.<\/p>\n

Nvidia named three other chips after women scientists<\/h2>\n

In 2004, the artificial intelligence behemoth launched a GPU microarchitecture called \u201cCurie\u201d.<\/p>\n

The microarchitecture named after the world\u2019s only women to have won two Nobel Prizes was used in Nvidia\u2019s GeForce 6 and GeForce 7 series of graphic cards.<\/p>\n

Then there was the \u201cAda Lovelace\u201d architecture launched in 2022 named after the revered English mathematician known primarily for her work on Charles Babbage\u2019s proposed mechanical general-purpose computer.<\/p>\n

It powered several of the company\u2019s GPU series, including the GeForce RTX 40.<\/p>\n

Also in 2022, the Nasdaq listed firm announced its Hopper architecture named after Grace Hopper, a pioneering computer scientist and US Navy rear admiral who made significant contributions to programming and computer science.<\/p>\n

The Hopper architecture powered NVDA\u2019s H100 Tensor Core GPUs.<\/p>\n

Why is Nvidia\u2019s naming convention significant?<\/h2>\n

Nvidia continues its convention of naming chips after women scientists with its upcoming Rubin architecture at a time when the Trump administration is rolling back on DEI<\/a> (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives.<\/p>\n

A study last year tagged the semiconductor giant as the least diverse tech company in the US with women on a tad above 14% of the tech roles only.  <\/p>\n

However, its convention of naming chips after notable women in science shows it honours women in the tech industry.<\/p>\n

Note that Nvidia stock is down more than 22% versus its year-to-date high ahead of the annual GTC conference on March 17.<\/p>\n

Is it worth buying NVDA shares ahead of GTC conference?<\/h2>\n

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives recommends buying NVDA shares ahead of the GTC conference as the annual event could prove to be a meaningful catalyst for tech stocks at large. \u00a0<\/p>\n

AI stocks have taken a big hit in recent weeks due to tariff uncertainty and the possibility of Trump\u2019s policies pushing the US economy<\/a> into a recession.<\/p>\n

Still, the investment firm remains convinced that the longer-term bullish picture for these names remains unchanged. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe this year 3 of what will be an 8-10 year build out of the AI revolution,\u201d he told clients in a recent note.<\/p>\n

Ives expects tech names, including Nvidia stock, to print a new all-time high in the back half of 2025.  <\/p>\n
