With design errors like this the only option is to run all fans on full tilt which will carry you right through warranty extension and leave you SOL. Mobile G96 chips are almost all dead by now. Dell, HP, Apple all suffered from Nvidia's screwups.

I wonder if the the new macs will keep using amd GPUs because that is a lot of heat for a laptop power budget

the only laptops that have dedicated GPUs are the high end 15 inch macbook pros

amd might actually be profitable in 2015 or 2016

samsung and nvidia are in a real nasty drag-out patent slapfight, and the money is on nvidia losing bigtime. real likely that there will be at least a temporary import ban on nvidia products

amd might make money by accident when suppliers have no choice but to buy amd GPUs to fill the gaps left by shortages in nvidia stock

seriously?

got any links about this?

and LOL if they'll do an import ban when a company violates Samsung patents but won't do an import ban the other thousand times Samsung is caught violating other companies' patents.

That's got nothing to do with their chip design, it has everything to do with utter poo poo DX11 driver implementation.

the speculation was in a trade rag i found lying around at work. google isn't working out for me

basically, there are two disputes:
- nvidia against samsung + qcom
- samsung against nvidia

nvidia against samsung isn't going that well:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-22/itc-staff-said-to-clear-samsung-qualcomm-of-nvidia-infringement

samsung against nvidia is supposedly doing better, but i couldn't dig up a link.

if samsung is successful there could be weeks or months of stopped imports before samsung and nvidia come to a final settlement. (not any kind of permanent ban obviously)

device makers will just route amd parts to the US while nvidia will supply the rest of the world. it won't have a significant net impact on sales.
