Why would Arm’s owner want to buy a rival to AMD and Intel? I can think of one reason


  • Softbank is apparently looking to buy Ampere Computing
  • The Japanese tech giant already owns Graphcore and Arm
  • Experts say Softbank’s ambition would be to compete with global hyperscalers

SoftBank, the majority stakeholder in Arm, is reportedly in talks to buy Ampere Computing (via Bnnbloomberg).

Ampere, known for its data center chips built on Arm architecture, has gained attention for its high-end chips, including the 192-core Polaris and the upcoming 256-core Magnetrix.
