Funnily enough, I did a quick search and immediately found an E8 processor - https://www.andestech.com/en/products-solutions/andescore-pr...

Wasn't quite as strong a match for "G8", but G[n] does show up in a lot of product descriptions to indicate what generation of the product is involved.

LG also put out a phone named the G8 Thinq in 2019.

I would generally agree with the speaker that it's hard not to collide when using a 2 character name. The "for a CPU architecture" narrows the collision space substantially, which does affect the full accuracy of the statement. But the spirit of "2 char IDs are collision prone" is true.
