Speaking of the ITC, a judge there ruled that NVIDIA has violated three Rambus patents, though two other patents in the complaint were cleared. The patents involve memory controllers related to the GPU. This complaint was originally filed back in 2008 and there could be other companies that are in violation now that the precedent is set.
The case also names more than a dozen companies whose products use Nvidia controllers, including Hewlett-Packard and motherboard makers Asustek Computer Inc. and Biostar Microtech International Corp. Most of the Nvidia chips are made in Taiwan, and then sold to other computer-parts makers.
