A recent report from Bloomberg revealed that Nvidia is preparing to abandon its acquisition of Arm. The deal would have made a joint Nvidia-Arm a semiconductor superpower, and as such it was subject to scrutiny from regulators. Regulators in both the U.S. and the U.K. have pushed back against the deal. Arm licensees might be relieved to see the deal fall through, thus eliminating the threat of working with a competitor (Nvidia). Computerworld executive editor Ken Mingis and Macworld executive editor Michael Simon join Juliet to discuss the status of Nvidia’s Arm acquisition and what the future holds for licensees, like Apple, that build upon Arm’s architecture.
