Thursday, the CEOs of both companies tried again to sell the deal as positive for the industry.</p>\n<p>Nvidia (ticker: NVDA) has a lot of people to convince. To go through, the deal needs regulatory approval from the U.S., European Union, U.K., and China. Opposition from other semiconductor companies, and elsewhere in the tech sector, has been mounting for months. Combined, Arm and Nvidia could become a formidable rival of Intel(INTC).</p>\n<p>At the Six Five Summit Thursday, Arm CEO Simon Segars made the case that if it stays independent, Arm wouldn’t be able to keep up with the increasing demands of its customers for more complex chips that can perform a wider variety of functions.</p>\n<p>“As I think of in the future, the range of products our licensees want to build is growing and growing,” Segars said. “What they’re asking from us is increasing and increasing because of the complexity going up, and there is no way that we can do that on our own.”</p>\n<p>Beyond supporting Arm at a larger scale, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the acquisition is an opportunity to create a company that can generate even more new ideas, and bring more innovation to its customers in the form of intellectual property.</p>\n<p>“The benefit to the market, and to the Arm customers will be more IP, better IP, more accelerated road maps and hopefully taking Arm to the far reaches of what is becoming …the diversity of computing that is literally going in every single direction,” Huang said. “You’re covering from cloud, to edge, to [internet of things], to high performance computing, to microprocessors, to accelerated computing—everything.”</p>\n<p>Not everyone agrees that the deal is a good idea. Incoming Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has said that Arm’s ecosystem of processor technology is powerful because it is open.
