]]> Nvidia buys ARM from Softbank for $40 Billion! https://staging.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1767/nvidia-buys-arm-from-softbank-for-40-billion Mon, 14 Sep 2020 00:08:31 +0000 General Francisco 1767@/index.php?p=/discussions This won't affect Apple's move to ARM at all since they have a perpetual license, but still.

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-to-acquire-arm-for-40-billion-creating-worlds-premier-computing-company-for-the-age-of-ai

Personally I expect to see Microsoft try to push ARM again with both Microsoft and Apple going full walled garden for even desktop PC apps.

The minute I start to see Apple fuck with brew is the day I put my mac up for sale and move to Linux.
