Un saut dans le passé est nécessaire, il y plus d'un an, en septembre 2020, Nvidia annonçait son souhait d'acquérir la société ARM, pour un montant de 40 milliards de dollars, l'annonce fit grand bruit, puis le silence sembla s'installer, cela était sans doute due aux diverses étapes réglementaires obligatoires et à l'attente des avis des autorités de la concurrence. Mais depuis quelques temps, une rumeur enflait, celle d'un abandon du projet d'acquisition, c'est désormais officiel par le biais d'un communiqué de presse les deux sociétés annoncent officiellement la fin de la transaction initiée en septembre 2020.
Nvidia conserve sa licence ARM, signée pour une période de 20 ans et SoftBank Group Corp conserve les 1.25 milliards de dollars prépayés par Nvidia. Le groupe prépare une introduction en bourse, certains spécialistes évaluent la potentielle valeur boursière à 80 milliards de dollars.
“Arm has a bright future, and we’ll continue to support them as a proud licensee for decades to come,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA. “Arm is at the center of the important dynamics in computing. Though we won’t be one company, we will partner closely with Arm. The significant investments that Masa has made have positioned Arm to expand the reach of the Arm CPU beyond client computing to supercomputing, cloud, AI and robotics. I expect Arm to be the most important CPU architecture of the next decade.”
“Arm is becoming a center of innovation not only in the mobile phone revolution, but also in cloud computing, automotive, the Internet of Things and the metaverse, and has entered its second growth phase,” said Masayoshi Son, Representative Director, Corporate Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of SoftBank Group Corp. “We will take this opportunity and start preparing to take Arm public, and to make even further progress.”
Mr. Son continued, “I want to thank Jensen and his talented team at NVIDIA for trying to bring together these two great companies and wish them all the success.”
