Yize izinyanga sezidlulile selokhu iNVIDIA yamemezela ukutholwa kweSmartBank ephethe i-chipmaker Arm, isivumelwano sisalindwe futhi singaphansi kweziphathimandla emhlabeni jikelele. I-Qualcomm manje isiphikisana nalokhu kuthathwa.
Njengoba kubikiwe I-CNBC, Qualcomm iveze isikhundla sayo kwi-US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), i-European Commission, i-UK Competition and Markets Authority kanye ne-State Administration of China. kumthethonqubo wemakethe. Le nkampani ibonakala ikholelwa ukuthi i-NVIDIA ingavimbela ezinye izinkampani ukuthi zisebenzise impahla ye-Arm ngokuzayo.
Mayelana nesofthiwe, i-British chipmaker i-Arm (Arm Holdings) okwamanje iphethwe yi-Japanese SoftBank Group. Isebenza ngokukhethekile kuma-semiconductors kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe futhi okwamanje ilayisense yezakhiwo zayo ze-ARM (nge-IP) kubakhiqizi abahlukahlukene bama-chip. Isakhiwo sayo se-chip okwamanje sisetshenziswa emhlabeni wonke kuma-electronics abathengi njengama-smartphones, i-automation, amanethiwekhi, njll.
NgoSepthemba 2020, ngemuva kwengxoxo eyindilinga, i-NVIDIA yamemezela ukuthi izothola i-Arm ngama- $ 40 billion. Ngalesi sikhathi, bobabili i-NVIDIA ne-Arm bathi isivumelwano sizokwakha inkampani ehamba phambili yamakhompyutha eminyakeni yobunhloli bokufakelwa. Kodwa-ke, isivumelwano sisalindile njengoba, njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, kuyabhekwa.
Futhi, iQualcomm akuyona ukuphela kwenkampani ephikisana nalesi sivumelwano. Izinkampani ezinjengeHuawei namanye amafemu ezobuchwepheshe baseChina bazwakalise ukukhathazeka kwabo. Ngokukhethekile, owayengunjiniyela omkhulu weLenovo uthe igunya laseChina lokulwa nokwethenjwa lizobuyela emuva esivumelwaneni, sisho ukubuswa yedwa njengesizathu.
Kunoma ikuphi, ngokusho kombiko, i-FTC idlulele "esigabeni sesibili" sophenyo lwayo. Ucele iNVIDIA ne-Arm ngemibhalo eyengeziwe ngalesi sivumelwano, futhi inqubo kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke izinyanga ezimbalwa.
Ngokuqondene ne-NVIDIA, itshele i-CNBC ukuthi ikholelwa ukuthi abalawuli bazobona izinzuzo zalokhu kutholwa futhi bazokuvumela. Kodwa-ke, imithombo yezimboni ithi inamathuba amakhulu okuvinjwa ngomunye wabalawuli.
