Same with Apple skipping iPhone 9 and ditching the S model name for spec bump releases so they have a higher number than the Samsung Galaxy S models and then Samsung went straight from S10 to S20 as a response.
980 to 1080 is a logical step, as - in simple terms- 9 was the generation and 80 the class/performance inside the generation. I somewhat get the step from 10xx to 20xx instead of 11xx for aesthetic reasons. But having a 16xx and 20xx?!

I still hate how NVIDIA decided to go from the 980, to the 1080, to the 2080. I can’t keep up anymore!
My next graphics card will be an AMD.
Worse was the release of the GTX 1660/1650.
