In July 2008, Nvidia took a write-down of approximately $200 million on its first-quarter revenue, after reporting that certain mobile chipsets and GPUs produced by the company had "abnormal failure rates" due to manufacturing defects. Nvidia, however, did not reveal the affected products. In September 2008, Nvidia became the subject of a [[class action lawsuit]] over the defects, claiming that the faulty GPUs had been incorporated into certain laptop models manufactured by [[Apple Inc.]], [[Dell]], and [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]]. In September 2010, Nvidia reached a settlement, in which it would reimburse owners of the affected laptops for repairs or, in some cases, replacement.<ref name="pcmag-laptopsettlement">{{Cite web |title=Nvidia GPU Class-Action Settlement Offers Repairs, New Laptops |url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2370032,00.asp |access-date=May 26, 2017 |website=PC Magazine |archive-date=January 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190110081429/https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2370032,00.asp |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="extremetech-nvidiadefect">{{Cite web |title=Update: Nvidia Says Older Mobile GPUs, Chipsets Failing |url=https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/82266-update-nvidia-says-older-mobile-gpus-chipsets-failing |access-date=May 26, 2017 |website=ExtremeTech |date=July 3, 2008 |archive-date=October 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030143138/https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/82266-update-nvidia-says-older-mobile-gpus-chipsets-failing |url-status=live}}</ref> On January 10, 2011, Nvidia signed a six-year, $1.5 billion cross-licensing agreement with Intel, ending all litigation between the two companies.<ref name="engadget-nvintel">{{Cite web |title=Intel agrees to pay NVIDIA $1.5b in patent license fees, signs cross-license |url=https://www.engadget.com/2011/01/10/intel-agrees-to-pay-nvidia-1-5b-in-patent-license-fees-signs-c/ |access-date=May 26, 2017 |website=Engadget |date=January 10, 2011 |archive-date=December 17, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181217220145/https://www.engadget.com/2011/01/10/intel-agrees-to-pay-nvidia-1-5b-in-patent-license-fees-signs-c/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

In November 2011, after initially unveiling it at [[Mobile World Congress]], Nvidia released its [[ARM architecture family|ARM]]-based [[system-on-chip|system on a chip]] for mobile devices, [[Tegra 3]].

In February 2013, Nvidia announced its plans to build a new headquarters in the form of two giant triangle-shaped buildings on the other side of San Tomas Expressway (to the west of its existing headquarters complex). The company selected triangles as its design theme. As Huang explained in a blog post, the triangle is "the fundamental building block of computer graphics".<ref name="McMillan">{{cite magazine |last1=McMillan |first1=Robert |title=Nvidia Answers Apple Spaceship With Triangle Temple |url=https://www.wired.com/2013/02/nvidia-hq/ |access-date=February 24, 2024 |magazine=Wired |date=February 20, 2013 |archive-date=February 23, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240223182712/https://www.wired.com/2013/02/nvidia-hq/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

That same year, Nvidia also prevailed in litigation brought by the trustee of 3dfx's bankruptcy estate to challenge its 2000 acquisition of 3dfx's intellectual assets. On November 6, 2014, in an unpublished memorandum order, the [[U.S. Court of Appeals]] for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the "district court's judgment affirming the bankruptcy court's determination that [Nvidia] did not pay less than fair market value for assets purchased from 3dfx shortly before 3dfx filed for bankruptcy".<ref>[https://casetext.com/case/brandt-v-nvidia-corp-in-re-3dfx-interactive ''In re 3dfx Interactive, Inc.''], 585 F.
