Large M&A have always been a mixed bag of success. Large ones have failed spectacularly in the past so not an unreasonable expectation

In this case the ROI does not depend on nvidia able to leverage ARM in their portfolio, even if they stopped developing ARM now , the licensing alone is worth a lot, while they hope to do more than that they don't have to.

IP can be extremely valuable in a merger like this , Google bought motorola and Microsoft bought nokia for largely IP reasons at 15B and 8 B

People here have an axe to grind against Nvidia it seems. Somehow seen as Intel but for GPUs despite being highly innovative and continuously so.

I don’t think the issue is that they aren’t doing well, it’s that they have historically not done good.

Their GPUs are great. But their business practices are bad, and if they apply them to ARM, that will hurt us all.

Agree. I really think they want to eat Intels lunch.
