Given its pivotal role in the Cambridge ecosystem, should ARM have been sold in the first place? My view is no. It is now just table stakes with overseas financial finegalers. Can ARM maintain a strategic and R&D direction with this going on? https://t.co/rn5zuzb7Jp

Nvidia ARM acquisition is likely, but the price in Bloomberg's article is wrong. ARM will not be anywhere close to $44B!
$20B is much more likely.
ARM's profits are down significantly, and RISC V impact hasn't even taken effect on the embedded gravy trainhttps://t.co/g0sTtd1nWU https://t.co/NKMNQljz23 pic.twitter.com/Td5YpXpANF

Question - if UK government felt it could risk $500m on speculative satellite firm OneWeb, might it intervene to buy a stake in ARM, the jewel in the crown of British tech? https://t.co/6D0rB9X0Xu

More smoke about a Nvidia <-> ARM deal: "The two parties aim to reach a deal in the next few weeks, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Nvidia is the only suitor in concrete discussions with SoftBank" $NVDA https://t.co/hYQIj0BF2F

Masa and SoftBank in talks to dump Arm after 4 years.

US chipmaker Nvidia was worth less than Arm when SoftBank bought the UK chip designer in 2016 for $32bn.

Now Nvidia worth $260bn and looking to gobble up Armhttps://t.co/FaRr1VHDHx

Just in: Nvidia is really going to buy ARM? https://t.co/0aKtrcCt4i

From all I read, it does not make sense. Also Nvidia does not have enough cash, and neither has Softbank.

Is Nvidia thinking of overhauling their own business model and Arm fits that future?

So Nvidia eyeing purchase of ARM, UK’s high tech crown jewel flogged to SoftBank just after Brexit. UK government should be red-faced about how our most strategic assets are up 4grabs. Surely,we should be able to grow for the long term https://t.co/VPMUqqM5TO via @financialtimes

Nvidia in Advanced Talks to Buy SoftBank’s Chip Company Arm - this, if true, is going to be a regulatory nightmare. ARM insiders have told me a platform used by all chipmakers can’t be owned by one of them https://t.co/996NkQyQbq

If the UK competition authorities are willing to spend 6 months on investment into Deliveroo, then surely who owns the most important chip designer in the UK must be subject to similar review. Sushi delivery is important, but not quite as critical.https://t.co/dUy3rxCu8H

Nvidia buying ARM certainly would give Nvidia the opportunity to sidestep (and maybe even sideline) Intel, driving hard into mobile and potentially even some servers. The balance of power would definitely shift. https://t.co/lR4IVWjOn5

소프트뱅크가 매각을 추진중인 ARM을 엔비디아가 인수협상중이라는 소식. 소프트뱅크가 4년전 320억불/38조원에 ARM을 인수했었는데 빠르면 몇 주 내에 합의에 이를 것이라는 정보. 분석가들은 약 550억/66조원 정도에 합의가 될 것으로 예상된다고. 엔비디아의 큰 베팅! https://t.co/lQwkp5Fmhs

The acquisition of ARM can be a double-edged sword. There is great potential in this deal that can profoundly affect the entire IC industry for the years to come.

Considering the massive run of failures SoftBank has had it was inevitable that eventually they would decide to kill the golden goose. The only(?) profitable company they own. We can only hope the decision isn’t a disaster for the rest of us! https://t.co/RThS3Wv43E

If NVIDIA actually buys ARM, it changes the processor landscape.

Intel, already in a pitched battle against a resurgent AMD & its incredible Ryzen architecture, would face a GPU powerhouse with power-efficient CPUs perfect for the enterprise.https://t.co/4lVcDYOz7Z

Arm + Nvidia:
„...proposed deal included both cash and stock and that it valued Arm at above the $32bn price that SoftBank paid for the business in 2016.“$SFTBY $NVDA

Bring on that juicy 20% stake in the combined company for Softbank ?. Cluster of #1s

엔비디아가 ARM을 인수할 가능성. https://t.co/UeNPbfOaC1 소프트뱅크가 2016년에 31B에 인수한 영국의 반도체설계회사인데 현금이 필요한 소뱅이 매각 결정. 다만 구체적인 관심을 보이는 회사는 엔비디아밖에 없다고. 32B이상에 사겠다는 것 같은데 최종 매각가가 얼마가 될지 주목.
