To clarify what I think is the relevance, as well as to explore my own questions:
If someone were to clean-room design their own GPU chip, how likely is it that Nvidia and AMD would come down on them anyway simply by virtue of the fact that they (presumably) have patents on everything that you could think of putting in that chip?
In essence: do you now have to be an expert in what you’re not allowed to put in before you even start?
