    If gpu patents are being infringed, how is it that NVidia are targeting Samsung alone? (or indeed at all)

    Nokia use Qualcomm Adreno Gpu's exclusively in their Lumia range, and Apple do the same with PowerVR in their IOS devices.

      Nvidia has been competing with AMD for almost 2 decades now, and they never needed to file a lawsuit against them, because both the companies play fair.
      As soon as Samsung is involved, they needed to file a patent lawsuit.

      It is Samsung's fault. Nvidia isn't a patent troll at all.
      Samsung is a thief.

        Seems to me if Nvidia has issues to thrash out it is with Qualcomm,not Samsung for buying components from a seller..

                    I have no idea why Samsung always gets into lawsuits problem... I mean there are also other manufacturers but 95% we see Samsung getting into law suits. Is Samsung steals that much...
