CHIP FIRMS Nvidia and Rambus have closed down a patent argument and signed a licensing agreement.
The two firms have been wrestling with the patent dispute for four years now, and today serial litigator Rambus said it had managed to get Nividia to toe its line.
"This is an important license agreement as it settles our differences and allows us to move forward with Nvidia, the leader in visual and parallel computing," said Harold Hughes, president and CEO of Rambus.
"Looking forward, we have the opportunity to focus on developing innovative solutions in concert with our licensees to help bring compelling, innovative products to market."
The agreement covers innovations patented by Rambus and used in Nvidia's chip designs. The deal lasts for five years, which is almost as long as they had argued about the technology.
All outstanding claims have been settled according to the firms, however financial details are not forthcoming. µ

So Nvidia didn`t want to pay Rambus for ages suddenly Rambus buys Unity for CMOx and even more suddenly Nvidia signs up to Rambus....
I doubt nvidia is signing up to the past only, so is this a tactic by Rambus to make CMOx a standard by giving out now cheaper future patent deals so that most electronic companies sign up so that CMOx has the biggest backing.
Maybe
1) What does your comment have to do with this article?
2) Look around the tech industry and see who they tend to vote for
3) The way you comment..... "us" is supposed to represent the folks in the high tax bracket (like me)? News flash, you don't sound like someone in my tax bracket.
And the 53% that likely vote Republican don't avoid tax and pay every moral cent they should eh?
Get real George!!!
@ugh: yeah, well, the world is full of leeches. 47% of Americans don't pay any income tax and vote Democrat and hope to force higher taxes on the rest of us.
Rambus is a leech that should just die already.
