The participation of the heads of NVIDIA and Arm in an impromptu conference at the Developer Summit made it possible to hear the positions of the company's management on the further development of the business after the upcoming merger deal. Both express confidence that it will be approved, and the founder of NVIDIA also claims that he will not let Arm Mali's proprietary graphics be ruined.
Jensen Huang has made no secret since the official announcement of the deal with Arm that he intends to distribute NVIDIA graphics solutions to the British company's customers. At a recent developer event, he expressed confidence that regulators in different countries will not interfere with the deal between NVIDIA and Arm, as soon as they understand that the companies complement each other, and will only act for the benefit of customers.
NVIDIA is going to use the Arm ecosystem to advance its computer vision and visualization technologies, as the founder of the latter of the companies explained. He confirmed that the deal will not deprive Arm of the opportunity to develop its own lines of graphics (Mali) and neural (NPU) processors, since each of them will have its own customers.
Along the way, Jensen Huang that NVIDIA has been eyeing the Arm ecosystem for several years, and is only now realizing that it has reached the point of maturity where it will benefit from integration with NVIDIA's own solutions and technologies, expanding beyond the mobile device segment. High-performance and edge computing, cloud systems and autonomous transport are areas that the future owners of Arm's assets consider suitable for the expansion of the platforms developed by the British company.
NVIDIA aims to create a unified environment where the architectures developed by both companies can be effectively used. NVIDIA's own software libraries will be adapted to the Arm architecture. Work began with three Arm clients developing processors for server applications - Fujitsu, Ampere and Marvell. Supporting the new unified ecosystem, NVIDIA is committed to "for life," as the company's CEO put it.
