Surprised this still has limited traction in terms of news awareness.
Ironically this would be all over the news and various forum sites (and not in a good way) if it was Nvidia :)
Will be interesting to see how this pans out and whether they can win the case outright, they want a limited exclusion order with a permanent cease and desist for the relevant companies.

According to the complaint, these patents generally relate to architectures for graphics processing unit (GPU) circuitry. The '506 patent relates to "a graphics processing architecture that enables a large amount of graphics data to be rendered to a frame buffer". The '133 patent relates to specialized "texture" processing circuitry that is employed by GPUs. Lastly, the '454 patent relates to a "unified shader" hardware architecture for GPUs. The complaint specifically refers to various televisions and smartphones, specifically, towards the graphics processing systems within those televisions and smartphones - as infringing products.

While I generally hate Patent Trolling, I have to support AMD here..If this were Nvidia, they would be screaming from the rooftops while their army of lawyers mobilize their divisions..AMD has to defend here, or they will lose the rights to the patents..I mean Intel didn't gift Nvidia a few hundred million dollars a year out of the goodness of their hearts..
