Nvidia reportedly interested in acquiring ARM

Last week it came to light that SoftBank may be trying to sell chipset design firm ARM, and according to a new report from Bloomberg, Nvidia could be interested. Citing the usual people with knowledge," Nvidia has apparently approached ARM to court a deal with the Cambridge company.

Out of the various options we have, Nvidia might actually not be the worst option. Abusive companies like Apple and Google are clearly the worst possible option, and Intel and AMD already have enough sway over the market as it is. NVIDIA, while not exactly a cute puppy kitten of a company, isn't so big and domineering that acquiring ARM would be a complete disaster for competition.
