Nvidia on ostanut ARMin, ja tästä kaupasta on huhuiltu jo jonkin aikaa. Tavoite näyttää olevan tekoälytutkimuksessa, ja siihen nVidia nyt laajentaa.
"--- a world-class AI research and education center, and building an Arm/NVIDIA-powered AI supercomputer for groundbreaking research"
ARMin tuotteet pysyvät jatkossakin saatavilla normaalisti. Näin nVidia lupaili. Kaupan odotetaan olevan lopullinen seuraavan 18 kuukauden kuluessa.
"The combination brings together NVIDIA's leading AI computing platform with Arm's vast ecosystem to create the premier computing company for the age of artificial intelligence, accelerating innovation while expanding into large, high-growth markets. SoftBank will remain committed to Arm's long-term success through its ownership stake in NVIDIA, expected to be under 10 percent.
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."
