NVIDIA’s deal to acquire Arm Ltd. faces fresh opposition from the likes of Amazon, Tesla and Samsung

NVIDIA’s latest venture of taking over British design house Arm Ltd. is currently facing lots of opposition from a host of American companies. This is the latest obstacle in the deal which is already facing severe setbacks due to the interference from regulators worldwide.

And according to rumours, NVIDIA will be getting a clean slate for its deal. However, things are not going easy for the manufacturer of the graphics.

The thing about Arm is that its technology ecosystem makes it an attractive target for NVIDIA however the deal is a bull’s eye for criticism from companies belonging to all industry sectors.  The first opposition was made by Qualcomm and later on it was joined by Google and Microsoft, with both companies selling gadgets that use processors designed with Arm’s technologies.
