A neutral company that doesn't build chips needs to buy Arm and pump it full of cash.
ARM technologies power a tremendous number of devices worldwide, and NVIDIA is reported to be considering a full stakes takeover, with SoftBank handing over the reigns.
SoftBank bought ARM and now wants to sell it — or spin it off — to raise much-needed capital.
SoftBank is reportedly exploring multiple options for ARM Holdings, including a partial or full sale. The Japanese holding company had acquired the British chip designer in 2016 in a $32 billion deal.
The new Cortex-X program from ARM is a big deal. Here are 5 ways it could impact the Android space going forward.
Big and fast, slow and wide, or even both at the same time — ARM's Cortex-X program lets companies building ARM chips take part in the design process for a custom edge. It's also the system that could allow Google to make its own custom chips for Pixel phones.

The parts inside our phones are fun to talk about. It's important to have a basic understanding of where it all starts — the ARM processor.
Intel has failed to make a mark in the mobile SoC market, but the chip vendor has announced plans to manufacture ARM-based designs on its 10nm FinFET manufacturing process. Intel also said that it will partner with LG to fabricate a "world-class mobile platform" based on the 10nm node.
Japan’s SoftBank is acquiring ARM Holdings for $31 billion. The British chip design firm dominates the smartphone market, with its lineup of chips used in 95% of handsets today. The number of devices running ARM-designed hardware has crossed 60 billion last year.
At Computex 2016, ARM unveiled the Cortex A73 CPU and Mali G71 GPU, both of which will make their way into 2017 flagships. The Cortex A73 is 30% more energy efficient when seen against the Cortex A72, offering a 30% increase in performance.
ARM, the company responsible for practically every mobile processor base design in Android devices, just took the wraps off of a new chip design today. Called the ARM Cortex A72, the new reference chip is claimed to sport twice the performance of its Cortex A57 chip, as well as 3.5 times the performance of 2014's Cortex A15. Additionally, ARM says the new design also reduces energy...
