Question What does Nvidia buying ARM mean for Raspberry Pi?

Quote:
Sep 14, 2020

Nvidia is buying Arm Holdings from SoftBank for $40 billion. Every Raspberry Pi uses a processor powered by ARM CPU cores. So what does this buyout mean for the #RaspberryPi and #ARM?

I'll explore the history of ARM and what led to today's announcement in this video, and offer some ideas for things to come!

Not good news at all - but the writing was probably on the wall 4 years ago when it was sold to Softbank.
