1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,639
one of the New Year's biggest Tech headlines was how NVIDIA's proposed

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,500
takeover of ARM crashed and burned huge

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,800
deal because it would have made NVIDIA the world's most powerful chip maker so

4
00:00:14,099 --> 00:00:21,000
um why exactly did the deal fall through well ARM's an incredibly important

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,680
company because it designs chips for lots of other companies instead of

6
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:30,480
manufacturing chips for itself ERM licenses its designs out to other firms

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:35,340
many of whom compete with each other for example Apple and Samsung both own ARM

8
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:39,059
licenses even though those two are at Fierce rivals in the smartphone space

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,140
although ARM is a for-profit company like any other their unique position as

10
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:47,520
a designer for so many players in the industry has made their neutrality very

11
00:00:45,899 --> 00:00:52,500
important you know like kind of like Switzerland neutrality and there were

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,820
already some concerns back in 2016 when UK based ARM was sold to their current

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,840
owners SoftBank a Japanese holding company but because SoftBank wasn't

14
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:05,339
already in the the business of Chip making the deal eventually went through

15
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:10,979
with that incident but the proposed NVIDIA acquisition was very different

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,900
NVIDIA was already one of arms licensees

17
00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:17,760
and it was directly competing with other companies like AMD and Intel that also

18
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:21,659
depend at least partly on arms designs now there are other companies that

19
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:24,960
produce chips on a contract basis for its competitors Samsung is a good

20
00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:30,900
example of this producing chips for NVIDIA but this is more on the

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,119
manufacturing side arms designs are used

22
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:37,680
in so many products that if NVIDIA tried to pull a fast one on one of its Rivals

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,060
and restrict access to Armed chips there may not be a clear alternative further

24
00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:45,659
complicating matters is how big NVIDIA already is without even taking ARM into

25
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:49,500
consideration although they might be less of a household name than Intel

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,920
they're actually the second largest chip maker in the world by market

27
00:01:50,579 --> 00:01:57,899
capitalization which is the total value of all of its outstanding shares in fact

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:03,780
the market cap is actually larger than AMD and Intel's combined needless to say

29
00:02:01,979 --> 00:02:09,000
all this got the attention of other large tech companies namely Microsoft

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Google's parent alphabet and Qualcomm who all screamed bloody murder at the

31
00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:19,620
prospect of having an important source of Chip designs controlled by a direct

32
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:22,260
competitor an apple which uses ARM for

33
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:26,700
most of its devices already had a frosty relationship with NVIDIA owing in part

34
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:31,680
to issues with faulty gpus around 2008 and 2009 Apple systems were among those

35
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:36,060
affected and NVIDIA allegedly did not provide adequate monetary support to

36
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:40,200
Apple to help fix those problems so would Apple be happy if they had to rely

37
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:45,480
on NVIDIA for their new Apple silicon lineup okay so those are the concerns

38
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:49,319
but who actually shut the deal down I'll tell you who but first I'll tell you who

49
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,239
the concerns of NVIDIA's Rivals were very much taken into consideration by

50
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,340
Regulators in several powerful countries it's hard to hit the west and China to

51
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:42,420
agree on anything these days but Regulators from the US the UK the EU and

52
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:46,200
China all oppose the deal the Western Powers were primarily concerned about

53
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:50,159
the buyout being anti-competitive and possibly unlearning NVIDIA to restrict

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,180
access to chip designs the UK in particular was also worried about its

55
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:58,140
own National Security as ARM is based in Britain meanwhile China had its own

56
00:03:56,220 --> 00:04:02,459
security concerns as it wants to use ARM designs in its own chips and didn't like

57
00:04:01,019 --> 00:04:07,560
the idea of having to buy them from NVIDIA an American company as if I'm

58
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:12,239
losing the market neutrality wasn't already enough so the deal was

59
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:16,560
unsurprisingly blocked but what's next for NVIDIA and ARM now NVIDIA is doing

60
00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:21,600
just fine as a company don't worry about them they're worth over half a trillion

61
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,259
dollars and all Team Green is really losing is an inroad into the mobile

62
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:29,280
market while ARM would have been a very nice ad for NVIDIA the deal's failure

63
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,360
shouldn't really hurt any of their future prospects too much as for ARM

64
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,199
well the reason they were interested in becoming part of NVIDIA is because

65
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:43,320
designing chips is a difficult expensive process and NVIDIA has well lots of

66
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,280
money that could back them now that the deal is off it looks like ARM will try

67
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:51,540
to raise money through an IPO instead initial public offering which was

68
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,120
softbank's original fundraising Plan before NVIDIA approached them we could

69
00:04:54,419 --> 00:05:01,440
speculate on how that will go but this isn't you know investment advice quickie
