Qualcomm insists on buying ARM, now through a consortium of several companies

Softbank, the company that owns ARM, is still trying to sell the company after it was about to force Nvidia to take over after several regulatory issues. After that, he thought about bringing ARM to the stock market, although after this news this is not final.

The importance of ARM as the company making chipsets with the largest projection in the world, and what their future will be, as we have already seen with the new Apple M1 processors based on this architecture.

Fact for the company to take over all of ARM would be a major problembecause ARM is critical to the tech business, and full ownership of a chip maker would be disruptive to competition.

It is for this reason that a direct purchase by the company is almost impossible, the main reason why Nvidia was unable to make a purchase, and the same reason why Qualcomm came up with a plan, that Samsung already considered a few years ago.

D this plan is to form a conglomerate of companies that will acquire it, so that the ownership of ARM will be divided into parts.which would fundamentally change the situation in the face of regulators.

Since its property is divided, no company can make decisions on this matter, but it can benefit from its intellectual property to improve and develop its chipsets more effectively.

It should be remembered that ARM itself does not manufacture chipsets.not commercial but if it develops and explores in perfecting the structure of the samevery important information for chip manufacturers, who, having received it, can prohibit other manufacturers from creating chips with such structures.

Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, told the Financial Times: “To be sure of ARM’s independence, it is necessary that many companies participate.” And he’s not the only CEO of a major company talking about the conglomerate.

Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel already suggested that Intel might support such a consortium. He also mentioned that he had talks with the head of Samsung to join as well. The CEO of SK Hynbix (also a chip manufacturer) also wants to join this consortium.
