Nvidia may cancel buying ARM
Two years ago, it was revealed that
Nvidia wanted to buy an ARM for $ 40 billion. The news was met with surprise in
the world of technology. Now, according to new information, Nvidia is
considering refusing to buy ARM.
Nvidia is one of the leading companies
in the field of video cards, artificial intelligence and the like. Two years
ago, it turned out that Nvidia wanted to buy ARM, a company that develops
chipsets for all technological devices. ARM chipsets are used in all smart
devices. This includes TVs, refrigerators and other household items. For this
reason, ARM plays a very important role in the world of technology. SoftBank,
the main owner of the company, was thinking of selling ARM. The most serious
buyer was Nvidia. However, the realization of this sale worried many companies
working with ARM. Government agencies also thought that this could lead to a
monopoly.
The biggest companies protesting against
the sale of ARM were Google and Microsoft. However, according to the latest
information, Nvidia may refuse this purchase. The main reason for this is that
governments and agencies do not agree to buy Nvidia. In recent months, the UK
has also objected to the decision, and Nvidia has not been granted a permit.
According to Bloomberg, Nvidia is quietly considering canceling the purchase.
It seems that the processes that have been going on for 2 years are not tied to
one result. However, if Nvidia refuses to buy ARM, it will lose $ 1.12 billion.
According to another Bloomberg, the exact decision has not yet been made.
