"Ok, so what's the issue? Mainly, graphics patents, and intellectual property. AMD thinks ARM Holdings GPU designs infringe on their graphics technology portfolio. Wait, ARM Holdings? Why not sue them? According to the source article, it's due to the convoluted way Intellectual Property law works. In short, because ARM licenses their GPU tech to other companies who build it (ARM Holdings doesn't make anything, it's an idea-house/design farm), it's easier to sue a finalized product with an infringing GPU included than someone who is peddling an idea of a product that would infringe if it were ever made."  Link
 
 
 
 Looks like they may have a valid point. Others trying to make money off of other peoples/companies ideas.

    i don't see it happening
     
    this is old news - there was a post about this a month or so ago
    powerVR,Qualcomm,Arm and Adreno are part of it
     
    in fact here is the link
    https://forums.evga.com/A...o-Others-m2611496.aspx
     
    anyways it will come up as something similar to this
    https://www.extremetech.com/computing/216109-nvidia-infringement-claims-against-samsung-qualcomm-tossed
     
    "AMD also goes on to claim that the patent infringement damages its legitimate partners who have acquired the right to use them - namely, Samsung."
     
    AMD can't waste$$ on frivolous lawsuits like NVidia can
     
    If AMD loses they can lose big time - counter suits for damages and they don't have deep pockets
