Nvidia ARM deal unlikely

Regulators weigh in

It is now officially less likely that Nvidia will be allowed to get its paws on ARM.

Gartner semiconductor analyst Alan Priestley said that the deal is facing a growing number of regulatory probes around the world, Priestley said, pointing to concerns in the UK, EU, US and China.

The deal was set to be completed by March 2022 but Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted in August that it would probably go beyond that date.

For those who came in late, ARM was spun out of an early computing company called Acorn Computers in 1990. The company's energy-efficient chip designs are used in 95 percent of the world's smartphones and 95 percent of the chips designed in China.

The company, bought by Japan's SoftBank in 2016 for £24 billion ($32 billion), licenses its chip designs to more than 500 companies who use them to make their own semiconductors.
