It will raise concerns, at least with China.

Not sure what this means. He should have stayed with Arm 20 years more than he did just to make sure UK gvnmt didn't sell it off? People are allowed to pursue other interests, you know.

He said exactly the same things 4 years ago, the only difference was that Softbank was a neutral company, which nVidia is not. Only actor to blame here is the UK govmnt of 4 years ago.

Hauser left Arm way before it was sold, and it was already public when it was acquired by Softbank, so this comment does not make any sense at all.

Wow... When I thought you could not find any guy crazier than Masayoshi Son... here nVidia comes in panic-buying mode. 40 Billions! It's even profited since 2016, while the company almost doubled in size, made a string of losses and flatlined on license revenue... nVidia *must* have something boiling under the hood otherwise this acquisition does not make any sense. A lof of the things that are passed as *pro*, they could have still done them without buying Arm, and a lot of the things that they could do, i.e. *influence* Arm's roadmap to suit their needs, will completely destroy Arm's business model and eventually, its long term value. The only possible explanation is that this is what they want to do... but doing this, they will force *a lot* of actors to look for other (open) alternatives, in the process. They might still win this, in the sense that it will play nicely for them in the long term, but not for Arm.
