Hermann Hauser: ‘It’s in Nvidia’s Interests to Destroy Arm’
The UK is actually the one that has ignored and destroyed ARM (and Imagination Technologies) and it has been compared to &#x27;selling off the crown jewels&#x27; [0] to SoftBank which was welcomed by a UK government cabinet minister in 2016 as a &#x27;big vote of confidence in British business.&#x27; [1]<p>Actually, SoftBank got ARM at a special Brexit discount. For them, they saw it as the best deal of 2016 and for the UK, you might as well say they got scammed.<p>So fast forward to 2020, SoftBank didn&#x27;t get that 10x return they wanted from ARM and is now selling to get a tiny profit, where it is apparently heading for Santa Clara.<p>The rest of the UK didn&#x27;t care and didn&#x27;t know what they had, until it was too late and the same fate was repeated for Imagination Technologies. What a shame.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qz.com&#x2F;734882&#x2F;the-32-billion-japanese-takeover-of-a-british-tech-giant-is-not-a-big-vote-of-confidence-in-post-brexit-britain&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qz.com&#x2F;734882&#x2F;the-32-billion-japanese-takeover-of-a-...</a><p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.policy.manchester.ac.uk&#x2F;posts&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;arm-holdings-takeover-deal-are-we-selling-the-crown-jewels&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.policy.manchester.ac.uk&#x2F;posts&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;arm-holdin...</a>
