UK disputes ARM takeover Nvidia over 'security concerns'

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.”

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.

Translation:

"This is going to happen no matter this government says or does".

All I can say is this:

You're not in California any more, and, who the hell do you think you are questioning a government? Just because in your little neck of their woods you can make 'campaign donations' to politicians, that shit does not happen in ours, because if any politician in the UK get found out for taking 'campaign donations', they go to PRISON, like they should in EVERY country.

ARM+AMD would be more expensive that's for sure ;)

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).

ARM+AMD already exist since years (maybe more older than ARM+NVidia).
