Honestly I still don't understand why nᴠɪᴅɪ ᴀ wants to buy arm. I read the explanations, none of them make sense to me.

An IPO for Arm is the wrong route. It would not make a good public stock or be the cash infusion it needs. A licensee also can't own it. Private equity would screw it up. An unfortunate few options exist. https://t.co/TrjAmZWcQL

FTC sues to block Nvidia/ARM. This is good. ARM needs to remain neutral for the good of the entire tech ecosystem. Can't be owned by an individual chip company. https://www.ftc.gov/...

Well this could be the final nail. My confidence in this passing has been very low since the beginning. The question then becomes, what happens to Arm. https://www.cnbc.com/...

This is the final nail in the coffin. Arm will remain an independent company for years, if not indefinitely. https://twitter.com/...

Not entirely sure how this would shake out - experts, please let me know! - but doesn't the decision to block a U.S. chip firm's acquisition of a foreign designer undercut the congressional and administration effort to onshore chip capacity? https://www.ftc.gov/...
