It won't work

I doubt this merger will occur or an NVIDIA takeover. I believe this effort won't pass anti-competitive regulations in China/Europe/USA

Agreed, the original SoftBank sale was contentious enough, especially coming after the Cadbury/Krant and and AstraZeneca/Pfzier buyout fiascos, had this scenario been envisioned so quickly I doubt any British PM would have let the original buyout go ahead, SoftBank have really pushed the envelope on the conditions Theresa May originally set out. It would be harder to stop now but I can't see this happening without strict conditions on how NVidia can handle the company.

Since Brexit. The UK government won't give a damn one way of another.
It all depends on Europe/Japan and USA regulators.


Japan won't mind as a Japanese company benefits massively.
USA won't mind as it brings more tech and control to USA.


It all depends on the EU who probably won't like it one bit.

Personally I hope the deal fails, Nvidia are getting a little too big and greedy, giving them more control over the processor market is only a bad thing.
