Strictly speaking, only the claims matter, and so the text if those would need to be read and used to determine whether it can be invalidated due to prior art. The claims have very little to do with the diagrams supplied, rather they are about a way to compress cache coherency transfers if the line is all zeros (kind of like LPDDR has, in a way). That said, copying so many of a competitors' slides into figures is still stupid as it is highly unlikely to give a judge a great first impression.
