Hi Ard,

'edge' here would be required because there is also a 'hyperscale'
class of platform based on N1 cores.
(https://www.anandtech.com/show/13959/arm-announces-neoverse-n1-platform/3).

The ReferenceDesign part is relevant and without which the name would
only indicate the CPU name (NeoverseN1). And so is 'edge' because
there is 'hyperscale' variant as of today and there could be other
variants as well.
