tl;dr: Arm has lineage back to Acorn computers, which built the processors for the BBC Micro, an inspiration for the Raspberry Pi. It's a little sad to have seen this plucky British tech company get gobbled up by another US tech conglomerate, kind of like Mini getting eaten by BMW. Nvidia wants to up its AI and ML game, and mixing Nvidia and ARM gives Nvidia tech buzzword superiority (just read through the Press Release). In the short term, nothing major changes (licenses stay intact, Arm Holdings HQ remains in Cambridge), but in the long term, maybe this creates new opportunities for RISC-V and/or the Open POWER chip architecture.
