UK disputes ARM takeover Nvidia over 'security concerns'
Nvidia has the intent to purchase the British chipmaker Arm for about $40 billion. Given Arm's impartial stance toward clients like as Qualcomm and Samsung, the acquisition is being investigated by competition regulators in the United Kingdom, China, the United States, and Europe.
According to Bloomberg, the United Kingdom is likely to oppose the agreement. Ultimately, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) came to the conclusion that the takeover would have 'serious repercussions for national security' if approved. Despite the fact that no final decision has been reached, the United Kingdom might still accept the deal if certain requirements are met. Secretary of State Oliver Dowden will determine whether or not the transaction should be subjected to additional investigation by the UK's antitrust regulators.
It remains to be seen if this additional inquiry will result in any further delay. In any event, Nvidia has said that the business intends to continue its collaboration with the United Kingdom government:
“We continue to work through the regulatory process with the U.K. government. We look forward to their questions and expect to resolve any issues they may have.”

NVIDIA is doing what is good for the company. Acquisition of ARM would be great for them, but it would be a disaster for everybody else. That's why we have regulatory powers that need to step in situation like this.

It's not to produce CPU with NVidia GPU, it's to have the hand over a growing type of CPU.
Right now the problem that politic just found, is the one that IT point at early tractation.
A potential opposant country will own an essential part of the security of the country (army, bank, etc etc).
Their roadmap is planning nVidia ARM CPU in the near future, so it's not to grab the company that design the core. It's also to benefit from it, having the next "in-house innovation" at first hand before any competitor.
Anyone believing that nVidia acquiring ARM, will remain perfectly neutral and never be the first to implement the next-gen design of ARM is dreaming.
ARM is only a designer, nVidia is also selling finished products and soon with ARM CPU inside. It's in conflict with owning ARM itself.

IP , its all down to ip.
Not sure to understand why they absolutly want to buy this company, they can already develop a custom ARM processor and join it with a GPU of their own without having to own ARM. ARM's business is about licensing core that can be customized by their clients. nVidia never needed to buy them to produce a custom ARM CPU.

Not entirely, Nvidia just want to make a CPU/APU that can run windows and have its own desktop CPU, which they currently cannot do, but thanks to Windows 11...

it's more than that. Nvidia is an American company. Softbank (the prior owner) is Japanese.
exactly what this is, is a weak government playing what little leverage they have for the media.
it's not as if there's multi-billion dollar fab plants popping up all over Britain.
this is a cynical ploy aimed at appeasing the nationalists in the Tory party. if there are real concerns about Nvidia's intention it should receive equal billing.
of course if this was in absence of political concerns this deal should be seen as a relief to the stockholders,
and this has nothing to do with the REAL loss of I.P. as it fundamentally strengthens ARM.
