A U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) judge has dealt a setback to Nvidia Corp. in a legal patent dispute with chip-maker Rambus. Judge Theodore Essex said that Nvidia is violating three patents owned by Rambus, while dismissing two other patents as invalid. Rambus Inc. is attempting to force Nvidia to patent royalties over technology in use in Nvidia graphics chips.

Rambus has a number of high speed memory bus patents, which of course all CPUs/GPUs/etc. could be affected by. They tend to be sue-happy, though, as the company has had some rocky history.

Rambus should just die. Anyone else remember the crap memory Rambutt use to make vs DDR2? Rambutt cost 800/GB and DDR2 was like 250/GB. Worse part a design flaw in the Rambutt memory, the fix was to slow the memory to effectively the same speed DDR2. People should have sued Rambutt for false advertisement...

Anyone familiar w/ the computer industry should be well-aware of them.

No, they should sue Intel for forcing them to get that crummy memory...or they should be kicking themselves for buying an Intel platform at all...the the Athlon came out at about the same time as Rambust.

I agree completely with you, only problem Intel owned a huge percentage of Rambutt, or at least they use to when Intel tried for force everyone to only use Rambutt memory. Fortunately i waited long enough for DDR2 to catch on and avoid the entire Intel/Rambutt bs...

IBM charged a license fee to adapter card manufacturers to interface to the microchannel for the PS/2 computers. The computer industry migrated to a new industry standard interface (PCI).
Today computers contain computer chips designed and manufactured by many suppliers. This judgement would increase the cost of many consummer products which will decrease demand. The judgement will result in the loss of thousands of jobs across the computer industry. Better buy Nvidia products before they get pulled from the shelves.
