It seems a little dramatic to think Nvidia would spend $40 billion just to run ARM into the ground.

- ianai 6y agoAgree. I really think they want to eat Intels lunch.
- manquer 6y agoLarge M&A have always been a mixed bag of success. Large ones have failed spectacularly in the past so not an unreasonable expectation In this case the ROI does not depend on nvidia able to leverage ARM in their portfolio, even if they stopped developing ARM now , the licensing alone is worth a lot, while they hope to do more than that they don't have to. IP can be extremely valuable in a merger like this , Google bought motorola and Microsoft bought nokia for largely IP reasons at 15B and 8 B
- QuixoticQuibit 6y agoPeople here have an axe to grind against Nvidia it seems. Somehow seen as Intel but for GPUs despite being highly innovative and continuously so.
