What happens if Nvidia's acquisition of ARM is approved?
Wouldn't ARMv9 then become US technology, and subject to US export controls?
- jaywalk 6y agoNvidia has said that Arm's IP will remain registered in the UK. But as an American company, I doubt that would put it out of the reach of US export controls.
- chasil 6y agoAre there legal avenues to Nvidia maintaining ARM as an independent, wholly owned subsidiary that would indeed put it out of reach? From a financial perspective, this is a large market that was suddenly removed from the income statements of TSMC, ARM, and likely many other Western industries.
- jaywalk 6y agoI don't know the answer to that question. But considering the fact that even using chip design software from a US company is enough to get US export controls applied to the chip, I'd guess that there's no way around it.
