tbh arm going to nvidia in my mind would have made it a more level playing field, both intel and amd have cpu and gpu divisions, but saying that it would have made them a monster and it's not as if they aren't already and for consumers or other company's that rely on arm it may well have been a the worst thing.
So i have mixed feelings really as much as arm would have thrived it may well killed off a lot for many using it longer term, like all takeovers they say one thing do another later.
Small example M$ buying acti blizz stating cod will stay on PS well all they have to do too avoid it is not make cod any longer, generally i doubt it'd happen straight away but i doubt M$ is buying them out of the goodness they have.
So Nvidia whatever they may have stated or said we all know it can change over time, but as much as Jensen wants a cpu side of things he'll just have to wait longer

Providing that ARM can continue to stay afloat, as from my understanding they are in somewhat dire straits right now.

Then the government should aid them considering they fought so hard to keep them independent.
I agree, but the Government can barely support the NHS these days, which in my opinion is far more important to the nation.

There's other ways to help. Can reduce their taxes by a certain amount for a couple years, can eliminate the tarrifs for their products they ship out or work with other countries to lower tarrifs for the imports. Probably other ways too. Economic collapse because of their tech center becoming defunct would be far worse than anything else. They bring in a lot of money. Without that money at all only makes everything else worse.

It's a self made problem, The government have siphoned off over £30 Billion from the NHS over the last 10 years, Gotten rid of 40,000+ doctors, Nurses, Surgeons, Various specialists etc... I myself prior to my gym escapades worked in a hospital up until a few years ago as the onsite nutritionist/dietician, Myself and many others were gotten rid of as they are getting ready to sell it off to America for a fully private system, It's why a few officials have been in talks recently with various American companies.
The UK is run by people who hate the 99.99%, For the 00.01% and there is no sign of change as the whole system is highly corrupt.

All of this would have made sense prior to Brexit. Now they cannot afford to do such luxuries, but I think I am responsible for derailing the topic now.
Regarding ARM, the government will definitely bail them out should the situation arise. They are simply too important for the nation right now. But here is the thing, we saw the world over, jump in uproar about Nvidias purchase attempt, I wonder if people would react the same way it if was AMD wishing to do the same. I don't think the reaction would have been so hostile.
I also wonder if a conglomerate stepping in would be the answer as opposed to a corporation.

Regarding the AMD portion, if they wanted to do the same as Nvidia, yes I would have had the same reaction. Though remember most of the opposition came from governmen, not just people.
Now AMD is in my opinion more likely to have come to the table with a more open ended partnership rather than outright purchase. As an example they would have maybe come to ARM for exclusive first rights to some their IP but not directly own or prevent others from accessing that technology at any given point after a certain time period.
Now that's just hypothetical, I don't see any real benefit AMD would have with partnering with ARM.
