As for Jonah, imho the only reason giving a chip this name is that Intel is hoping for some kind of rebirth, new start picturing the "coming back to life or world" of Jonah, when he was rescued from the whale. But on the other side it could simply mean those priests on Intel's payroll are gaining more and more power over the "technicians". Maybe they need some spiritual guidance, some light in the dark... ok, ok...

The article you posted about the philosophical interpretation leads to some interesting points since Jonahs story is a key and a shocking one in the bible. On the one side it's a nice fairy tale for kids on the other hand it clearly shows that god doesn't give a d*mn for Jonah (for the human Jonah, maybe neither for the chip?). God is cruel, saddistically if God wants. And Jonahs believe into God doesn't change that. That leads us towards 2 conclusions.
1. God might have choosen to rescue the human Jonah from the death inside the whales stomach, BUT God may choose not to rescue the chip Jonah from the death of heat. and
2. (clearly the 2. is a more debatable conclusion) Jonah is a complete idiot to stay a religious believer which basically doesn't matter for his survival. If I would have been Jonah, I would have at least changed my religion/god to a more considered one. Anyway.

Jonah is not rebirth, it is pain, suffering and blindness.
I don't see an extension of paradox here, I only see an extension of stupidity for naming computer chips that started with Bananas and probably doesn't end with Jonah.
