傳英偉達540億美元收購ARM面臨歐盟反對
據媒體報道,英偉達(NVDA.US)斥資540億美元收購英國芯片設計公司ARM的計劃再次面臨反對,一位歐盟官員表示,這家美國芯片製造商做出的讓步不足以減輕對競爭對手的潛在損害。英偉達準備於本週在布魯塞爾爲該交易申請監管許可,最早可能在週二。
據一位知情人士透露,英偉達已向CMA做出讓步,表示不會切斷ARM的技術許可,或更改其產品清單,從而使其處於不利地位。然而,在第一階段調查結束時,監管機構沒有接受這些承諾。因此,目前還不確定這筆交易能否在這裏輕易獲得批準。
然而,直接瞭解布魯塞爾調查情況的人士警告稱,現在說這筆交易是否會最終受阻還爲時過早,雙方仍有可能達成協議。而官員們的擔憂則是來自於英偉達與監管機構之間的初步對話。
除歐盟監管機構之外,還有一些人認爲這次收購會面臨挑戰。一些爲英偉達提供諮詢的人士表示,他們越來越擔心收購最終會失敗。此前,英國競爭監管機構對此次收購可能帶來的競爭損害表示嚴重擔心,建議進行深入調查。
據悉,當地時間8月20日,英國競爭與市場管理局(CMA)曾表示,英偉達收購ARM可能會限制競爭對手獲取關鍵技術,扼殺一些重要的市場創新,從而給競爭對手帶來真正的威脅。最終,這可能導致消費者錯過新產品,或者價格上漲。
面對日益增長的反壟斷阻礙,英偉達甚至公開承認,其對ARM的收購將超出最初的18個月期限。
英偉達和歐盟委員會(European Commission)對此事均拒接置評。
