As previously stated, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son emphasized that he would activelyDivesting Arm, which does not rule out reselling to NVIDIA and other companies, or allowing Arm to resume listing. But according to Dr. Hermann Hauser, co-founder of Armview, are opposed to the resale of Arm to NVIDIA, believing that once NVIDIA holds Arm assets, it may cause changes in the relationship between it and Arm's partners, which in turn will affect the development of Arm's existing business.
Dr. Hermann Hauser believes that Arm has always collaborated with various industry players from a neutral position. If NVIDIA, a chipmaker itself with a deep partnership, were to take control, it would inevitably impact Arm's existing relationships with partners, potentially impacting Arm's business development.
However, the previous market view was that if NVIDIA held Arm, the actual impact would be relatively small compared to the holdings of manufacturers such as Apple that build processor products based on the Arm architecture, and Softbank might even benefit from it.
Softbank acquired Arm for £2016 billion in 240, which is equivalent to about $320 billion in US dollars. In addition, Arm's market value has also grown significantly in recent years. Therefore, if NVIDIA wants to acquire Arm from Softbank, it will have to make a bid.More than US$320 billion.
After Apple, Samsung, and TSMC all denied any intention to acquire Arm, there is a high possibility that Arm will be sold to NVIDIA, but Softbank may also choose to restore Arm to the stock market.
