As we all know, the way of strong combination is the most effective way to enhance their own strength, in the field of semiconductors, NVIDIA's strength is undoubtedly very strong, and ARM, although it has been criticized in terms of innovation ability, although in addition to the ARM chip architecture, there is nothing to come up with, but on this chip architecture, but also make ARM an internationally renowned enterprise.
Academician Ni Guangnan was right, the acquisition of NVIDIA failed
In September 2020, the ambitious Nvidia began to announce that it would use $40 billion to pocket ARM for a period of 18 months, but on February 8 this year, when this deadline was approaching, hope was still far away, and Nvidia publicly announced the termination of its acquisition plan for ARM on this day. The largest semiconductor acquisition in history came to an end.
Such a result undoubtedly proves what Academician Ni Guangnan said before, that is, it is necessary to stop this acquisition, and hope that relevant institutions can adopt a refusal attitude. Now, NVIDIA's acquisition has failed, and Ni Guangnan has just achieved his wish. Of course, the reason why Ni Guangnan hopes to block this acquisition. In fact, it is also worried that after Nvidia acquires ARM, it will have an adverse impact on mainland enterprises.
Nvidia's desire to acquire ARM can be said to be a complete failure, so do you know why this acquisition that you are willing to take, but in the end will end up with such a result?
Why did NVIDIA's acquisition go so far?
A large part of the reason why Nvidia's acquisition of ARM failed was because the card was licensed by the international regulatory authorities, so why did the national regulatory authorities not approve this acquisition? First of all, Nvidia and ARM are both relatively strong semiconductor companies in the international market, if NVIDIA really succeeds in acquiring ARM.
Then, there is no doubt that NVIDIA's own strength will be greatly strengthened, for other semiconductor companies will bring great threats to development, for the development and progress of their own semiconductor companies around the world, Nvidia's acquisition of ARM is unlikely to be realized.
In addition, Nvidia is an American company that defends the interests of the United States and accepts the control of the United States, of course, this is beyond reproach. However, with the consistent characteristics of the United States, after Nvidia's acquisition of ARM, whether it can still maintain the original openness of the ARM architecture still has to be a question mark. Naturally, this acquisition will be opposed by the world.
For Nvidia's failure to acquire ARM this time, many people think that Huawei's crisis has been lifted, so is this really the case?
Has Huawei's crisis really lifted?
In fact, this acquisition failed, Huawei's crisis is not really lifted, first of all, Nvidia's acquisition of ARM failed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other American companies to try, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other American companies that will successfully acquire, therefore, Huawei still can not be taken lightly, American companies may not be dead hearted, Huawei may face the threat that the ARM architecture cannot be opened in the future.
In addition, although Nvidia has now given up the acquisition of ARM, it should have no impact on Nvidia's own semiconductor strength, but it has lost a good opportunity to strengthen its own strength. In other words, the acquisition failed, NVIDIA's semiconductor strength is still strong, in the future, Huawei's HiSilicon Semiconductor will still face very severe competitive pressure in the future, and still face a crisis of survival.
Therefore, the failure of this acquisition makes it impossible to solve Huawei's crisis, so how will Huawei respond to such a development crisis in the coming days?
How will Huawei respond to the current crisis in the future?
The reason why Huawei Semiconductor has such a development crisis, in fact, it is fundamentally because of the lack of independent research and development of chip architecture, therefore, Huawei should continue to increase investment in scientific research, unswervingly develop a truly pure domestic chip architecture, so that no matter whether ARM will be acquired by American companies, Huawei does not have to worry.
If you want to deal with the adverse effects of the strong NVIDIA, then Huawei may also wish to vigorously invest in the development of its own semiconductor strength, and strive to achieve 100% domestic self-research in semiconductors as soon as possible, and achieve 100% dependence on foreign countries, so that with the strengthening of its own semiconductor strength, how can we worry about the growth of NVIDIA's semiconductor strength, and how can we worry about the competitive pressure brought by NVIDIA?
summary
NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM was a complete failure, and Academician Ni Guangnan was right, and this acquisition must be stopped. Of course, Huawei can indeed breathe a sigh of relief from the failure of this acquisition, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that the crisis is lifted. Whether it is arm chip architecture or Nvidia's strong semiconductor strength.
The failure of this acquisition does not mean that Huawei does not have those threats, does not mean that Huawei can sit back and relax, and the lifting of the Huawei crisis is not so easy. If Huawei really wants to solve the current development crisis, if Huawei really wants to achieve a great breakthrough in semiconductors.
I hope that Huawei, I hope that many people, can clearly see that Huawei's lifting of the crisis is a long road, not overnight, not a single thing can be achieved, or huawei needs to pay more and more efforts in the future.
