When and where was the first use of the term Chimera?
The earliest non-internal reference I can find is in NIPS 2009 from a Google/D-Wave effort1. You'll notice that the two Choi papers, in addition to not using the term "Chimera", do not describe a ...

What is D-Wave's "Pegasus" architecture?
Pegasus is the first fundamental change in D-Wave's architecture since the D-Wave One.
The D-Wave Two, 2X, and 2000Q all used the "Chimera" architecture, which consisted of unit cells of $K_{4,4}$ ...

Why did D-Wave choose the Chimera graph the way they did?
You are right that $K_{3,3}$ is non-planar, but as you said yourself, a larger $k$ is much better. If they could do $K_{1000,1000}$ that would be nice, because each qubit could be coupled to 1002 ...

Why did D-Wave choose the Chimera graph the way they did?
user1271772's answer is entirely correct. I was going to comment with additional information to help answer nippon's question, but I just created this account and apparently there's a reputation ...

What is D-Wave's "Pegasus" architecture?
Hope this late contribution won't be a meaningless contribution, but as mentioned in one of the comments above, by using D-Waves version of NetworkX you can visualize the Pegasus network. I have ...

What is D-Wave's "Pegasus" architecture?
How is D-Wave's Pegasus architecture different from the Chimera architecture?
See: "Pegasus: The second connectivity graph for large-scale quantum annealing hardware" (Jan 22 2019), by Nike Dattani (...
