Points out that there is.
However, at the time of the transaction, Nvidia had made it clear that it would not affect the current ARM licensing model.
In the face of this opposition, it is reported that Nvidia is reviewing the deal to buy ARM by US, UK, China and European Union antitrust authorities.
However, no official decision has been taken by the relevant authorities so far and more details will be available in the next few months.
