FTC sues to block Nvidia-Arm merger
Strategically, why wouldn’t the US gov’t want a US company owning ARM? Why is the FTC pilling on to block this? How would I, as a consumer, be harmed by a graphics company owning an instruction set and design specification?Stopping two US companies from merging because it would create a monopoly and negatively impact US consumers is one thing. But this isn't even remotely the case here? Doesn't the US government get more tax revenue if Nvidia makes some extra dough charging royalties for that IP? I’m confused.
