NVIDIA has reportedly abandoned its plans to purchase ARM
to walk away from the deal since early January, seeing as it has made little progress on convincing regulators to approve the purchase. notes, NVIDIA repeatedly told authorities that it will keep ARM's business model and even proposed to set up a separate licensing entity for its chip designs. It also said that it will license any ARM-based IP that it develops to all companies without discrimination.
ARM-owner Softbank will get a break fee of up to $1.25 billion as a result of the failed purchase, the sources said. Its Japanese parent company is also expected to take ARM public before the year ends, though it will likely have a tough time matching NVIDIA's offer.
