Nvidia Might Withdraw $40 Billion Arm Bid

Nvidia Might Withdraw $40 Billion Arm Bid

Bloomberg and EEtimes are suggesting that NVIDIA seems to be silently abandoning the ARM deal. According to people familiar with the subject, after making little to no headway in securing approval for the $40 billion semiconductor transaction.

According to one individual who requested anonymity because to the nature of the conversations, Nvidia has informed partners that it does not expect the purchase to finalize. Meanwhile, SoftBank is ramping up preparations for an Arm initial public offering as a possible alternative to the Nvidia acquisition, another source said.

According to one individual who requested anonymity due to the nature of the conversations, Nvidia has notified partners that the acquisition is unlikely to be completed. Meanwhile, another source indicated that SoftBank is pushing up preparations for an Arm initial public offering as a viable alternative to the Nvidia acquisition.

“We continue to hold the views expressed in detail in our latest regulatory filings -- that this transaction provides an opportunity to accelerate Arm and boost competition and innovation,” Nvidia spokesman Bob Sherbin said.

“We remain hopeful that the transaction will be approved,” a SoftBank spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

My mind was like..... but Apple hates Nvidia.

But you meant ARM didn't you, I can't see that happening either to be honest.

Windows 11 can run on ARM chipset designs.

Nvidia has sworn many times they want desktop windows chipsets - basically to go directly head to head with intel and AMD.

To give Nvidia that much market control would be ridiculous, and that is not even mentioning Android or iOS.

The British government applied the right amount of pressure here. Good job.
Thanks Buddy!

Hey, what you doing tonight?

Well, the ARM acquisition wouldn't really change any of that. Qualcomm seems to be the only company really pushing for ARM on Windows, as Windows RT was a failure and Snapdragons are the only ARM options available now (for desktop Windows, anyway). Frankly, WoS is also a failure but much less of one. The Tegra series is far more appealing for Windows users, yet, Nvidia doesn't seem to care to make that happen.

Meant arm indeed.
ARM is owned by a Japanese investment bank, it's totally going to be sold to the bigger fish, or tech giants will create a competitor/alternative.
Its Chinese sub. is already owned by China governement funds, don't even understand how it worked out ?

Nvidia/TSMC are roughly 20 times bigger, and Apple/Alphabet/Amazon are closer to 50-150times bigger.
