FTC Sues to Block $40 Billion Semiconductor NVIDIA and Arm Chip Merger

just get this crypto fad scam to crash & burn so that GPU's can come back to reasonable levels
GPUs might come down, but crypto is well beyond going away at this point in time. That ship sailed years ago.

hmmm .. pe ratio around 4, looks good and 1% dividend too .. maybe wait with buying for the drop after the merger is cancelled .. or get in now .. :)
The time to buy is when there is blood in the streets, right?

Truth. At this point, it would require nearly all the governments in the planet to come to an agreement to ban the whole thing entirely. Or introduce some incredibly restrictive regulation.
 
Now the question becomes, is their a buyer out their that has the capability to turn ARM into a profitable enterprise. While avoiding the same FTC anti competitive issue? Perhaps they will have to partner up with a smaller richer company that has the technological means?
shhhh... gotta make sure the fruity boys don't get wind of this, or else they might try to pull some shiitzu, if for no other reason than to put a hurtin on ngreedia & Intel..... HEHEHE
 
and NVIDIA stock didn't move down a bit today
I don't think anyone is bothered, the cash cow lives on still.
And my what a fat cow it already was.

And they still can make what they want with arm tech /IP.

I didn't want this to go through, I imagine it would be something like Microsoft owning Intel, a complete elimination of innovation and diversity.

And a blood bath of so many other companies.

Funny enough, I would support fruit company buying arm, despite the upheaval that would ensue in its ranks. They have enough of a lead to play fair, remember they revived microsoft back in the day.

You're joking, right? There is absolutely zero chance that Apple would keep licencing ARM cores to anyone else if they bought it. Zero. None.

Don't care. They would not cast it in bad light. Let us face it, there are people in the world that still recall how better apple with motorola 68000 was next to the competition.
 
This "value" of things on stockmarket can be incredibly deceptive, everything that's negative is always regarded/reported as "lost", did they even deserve to "gain" the stuff they "lost", did they even got it at all, stock market value is just what someone else thinks of what they're worth, it's a dream, a thing that does not exist, but magically real money, physical action can be pulled out of it which is the most ridicolous thing ever, so basically what the world relies on the most are not physical things such as food, water, resources, materials, space, but some virtual nonsense that gives things "worth", and this virtual nonsense that happens in random investor's minds and other players is such a ridicolous concept. This virtual thoughts of "worth", the way it depends on irresponsible-joke-like personal feelings and psychological phenomena that can be so easily manipulated and so easily influenced by so many invalid factors, but also on personal greed, could be compared to an analogy of how many beans did a random investor fart the other day, is what they're going to think something is "worth", it is just so ridicolous, it's astonishing.
In the words of Elon Musk:
“It’s like having a manic depressive who’s constantly telling you how much your company’s worth. And sometimes they have a good day, and sometimes they have a bad day, but the company is basically the same. The public markets are crazy.”
 
If this deal happens, RISC-V adoption will increase.
NVIDIA is licensing whore. These guys charge for every single service.
They will probably raise the price for ARM licensing. If/once that happens, RISC-V is a winner.
Even if nvidia own ARM the licensing pricing will not going to change. One of the reason softbank decided to ditch ARM was because ARM refused to increase the existing licensing fee. They know that is quick way to discourage existing licensee to continue using the ISA. And surely nvidia also understand that completely. Nvidia is the type that play the long game. Rather than making people moving away from licensing the ISA because of nvidia want to make quick buck they will keep the price and start building an ecosystem that the industry won't be able to ditch just like what they did with their CUDA.

Yes but one can hope or dream can't they? Just like how I'd love to be able to see vast open fields, from decades back, around me instead of this concrete jungle extending miles & miles even into rural areas!

Like I said many times before this Crypto is just a manifestation of human greed & the destruction we've done to earth is beyond irreparable now! I'm a part of it & not really proud of some of the goals or decisions I made a few years back. You remember some of those sci-fi movies during childhood? Yeah I guess hoping for something like that to come real has led to many issues we see today with humanity, even if it is guilt by association it's hard to get over what I've contributed to :shadedshu:
 
THANK YOU FTC, GO FK UR SELF NVIDIA YUR NOT SRONG ARMING THE MARKET AGAIN LIKE YOU DID WITH 3Dfx Interactive Incorporated.......in year 2000/2001!!!!

HAHAHAH NVIDIA, YOU LOST!!!! FINALLY

You're joking, right? There is absolutely zero chance that Apple would keep licencing ARM cores to anyone else if they bought it. Zero. None.
apple or nvidia, you relly think we wold be geting better Rasberry pis or anyting with Arm from anyone else but Nvidia... or Apple. ha.... they would b the olny one or other makeeing them.. o oone else (at least not no 128core mobile arm low power SoC on a pi in 2030 if nvidia took over. no sirree

Crypto is a small drop in the bucket there. If you want to pick a reason to hate crypto that is the last I'd pick.
