Okay let's assume the worst: Nvidia proves once and for all they're a giant green asshole and squeezes the life out of all existing ARM licensees to the point where they switch to a new ISA or die. What is the value of the investment you just made when nobody cares about ARM anymore?
Or, 40 billion to force the market to agree on a new ISA a little sooner than it would have naturally? Smart play. It's nice job security for the engineers that are going to need to port everything, though...
