According to foreign media reports, on Wednesday, local time, the European Commission released documents showing that American chip giant NVIDIA has submitted an application for us $54 billion to acquire arm, a British chip design company, and sought approval. The European Commission is preliminarily expected to make a decision on whether to approve the transaction on October 13 < p > < / P > < p > NVIDIA said in a statement: "we are completing regulatory procedures and we look forward to engaging with the EU to address any concerns they may have. This transaction will benefit arm, its licensees, competitors and the industry as a whole." < / P > < p > NVIDIA announced the transaction in 2020, which triggered widespread concerns in the semiconductor industry, That is, whether arm can continue to remain neutral and authorize key intellectual property rights to customers and competitors. As many competitors and customers criticize the deal, the EU may extend the review for at least four months to assess potential competition concerns < p > companies opposed to the deal include Qualcomm, Google, Samsung and apple, but arm customers Broadcom, MediaTek and Marvell support the deal. When NVIDIA announced the transaction, it was originally set to complete the transaction in March 2022, but the extension of the review period may lead to the transaction not being completed within the expected time frame of NVIDIA < p > companies such as Qualcomm and Google complain that NVIDIA's control over the licensing of arm's key chip technology may threaten the latter's role as a neutral partner. Arm's position in the chip industry is usually compared with that of neutral Switzerland < p > the UK competition regulator has signaled that a longer national investigation is needed because the deal may undermine competition and weaken competitors. The agency wants to investigate concerns that NVIDIA may cut off competitors from using arm energy-efficient designs for technologies ranging from data centers to smartphones < p > the UK is still weighing whether to conduct a separate investigation into the potential risks that the transaction may pose to national security. At the same time, the transaction also needs to be approved by other countries < p > NVIDIA argued that it would continue to maintain an open license after the acquisition of arm. The company has made a possible commitment to the UK competition and Markets Authority (CMA), but the latter believes that such commitments are not enough. Antitrust officials rarely approve so-called "behavior commitments" without more careful scrutiny, because it is difficult to judge how a company will fulfill its commitments < p > longer EU review may allow enterprises to make more concessions in negotiations with regulators. NVIDIA recommends a potential machine comparison to show that the code it is authorizing is exactly the same as the code it uses for its own design < p > in the $400 billion chip industry, arm has the most widely used set of standards and designs. Its technology is the core of most smart phones in the world and plays an increasingly important role in the field of computing, including servers running enterprise and government systems < p > arm has always played a neutral role, licensing and even selling chip design to almost all major technology companies, although many companies are their fierce competitors. After being acquired by Softbank group in 2016, arm maintained this neutral position. (small) < / P > < p > related reading: < / P > < p > < / P > < p > it is said that musk opposes NVIDIA's acquisition of arm and is worried about affecting market competition < / P > < p > < / P > < p > on August 29, the Daily Telegraph quoted several sources as saying that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, opposes the chip manufacturer NVIDIA's acquisition plan of arm, a British chip designer, He expressed concern that the acquisition would have an adverse impact on market competition < p > the media also reported that in addition to musk, technology giants Amazon and Samsung Electronics also expressed opposition to NVIDIA's plan to acquire arm < p > in response to the above news, Tesla did not respond to the media's request for comment, while Amazon and Samsung declined to comment < p > earlier, NVIDIA proposed to acquire this chip design manufacturer in the UK for us $54 billion. Recently, a source disclosed that NVIDIA may seek EU approval for the acquisition plan early next month < p > the Financial Times reported on Friday local time that EU regulators are expected to launch a formal competitive behavior investigation into the acquisition proposal, which may begin after NVIDIA officially submits its acquisition plan to the European Commission.
