Nvidia has acquired mobile processor producer Arm for $40 billion USD, the companies have recently revealed.
Nvidia advised Arm’s open-licensing model and customer neutrality will continue, with Arm’s IP licensing portfolio to be expanded through Nvidia’s existing tech.
“AI is the most powerful technology force of our time and has launched a new wave of computing,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “In the years ahead, trillions of computers running AI will create a new internet-of-things that is thousands of times larger than today’s internet-of-people. Our combination will create a company fabulously positioned for the age of AI.
“Simon Segars and his team at Arm have built an extraordinary company that is contributing to nearly every technology market in the world. Uniting NVIDIA’s AI computing capabilities with the vast ecosystem of Arm’s CPU, we can advance computing from the cloud, smartphones, PCs, self-driving cars and robotics, to edge IoT, and expand AI computing to every corner of the globe.
Arm provides mobile processors for companies including Samsung, Apple and Qualcomm.
