nvlink is most commonly pronounced "en vee link" (/ˌɛnˈviː lɪŋk/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
NVIDIA's GPU-to-GPU interconnect (constant in GB200/H100 cluster talk). The "NV" prefix is the NVIDIA initialism, read as the letters N-V ("en-vee"), then plain "link": en-vee-LINK. Same NV-prefix pattern as NVSwitch. NOT "nuv-link" or "en-vid-ee-uh link" — a common non-native slip. STRESS: en-vee-LINK. No official FAQ documents the pronunciation; letter-initialism reading is universal in the community.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
