If I'm not wrong "Pascal" is architecture code name for NVIDIA GTX 10xx lineup series.

according to Nvidia Web site: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/

The GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is loaded with innovative new gaming technologies, making it the perfect choice for the latest high-definition games. Powered by NVIDIA Pascal™—the most advanced GPU architecture ever created—the GeForce GTX 1060 delivers brilliant performance that opens the door to virtual reality and beyond

NVIDIA Pascal™, would be a trademark name for the new GPU on the 1060

Pascal is the current gpu architecture used in nvidias gpus. It's not just the 1060. The Titan X pascal, 1080, 1070, 1050 ti and 1050 are also Pascal gpus. There are laptops that use Pascal gpus.
