Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell have all expressed support for Nvidia’s acquisition of ARM

Since NVIDIA announced the acquisition of Arm for US$40 billion, there has been a lot of resistance. If you pay attention to the relevant news in the past few months, you will find that the voices of opposition and doubts come from all directions, from other companies in the industry, relevant regulatory agencies in various countries, and ordinary users. British regulators may not even consider the acquisition until this fall and have not even submitted an application to the European Commission to approve the transaction, which makes the chances of Nvidia acquiring Arm before March 2022 diminishing.

Although there are waves of opposition and doubts, there is a general concern that after the successful acquisition, it will change the original nature of ARM and cause a certain degree of technological monopoly and conflict of interest and damages the rights and interests of ARM partners, but there are still companies in the industry that show support. According to Bloomberg, Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell have all expressed support for Nvidia’s acquisition of ARM. Because these companies have a certain position in the industry, they are all giants that have acquired and integrated the industry in the past ten years. After the news came out, it also stimulated the rise of Nvidia’s share price.

Due to the unsuccessful acquisition of Qualcomm before Broadcom, the relationship between the two parties is not very good, especially in the companies that currently oppose Nvidia’s acquisition of ARM, Qualcomm has played a leading role. SoftBank’s current situation is not good. It is eager to sell off its ARM shares and even used the proceeds from the sale of ARM as a guarantee when seeking a $7.5 billion loan.
