Nvidia is buying Arm Ltd., the company behind the now ubiquitous ARM CPUs in tablets, smartphones and soon to be Macs, for 40 billion US$. Nvidia declared that they do not want to change the business model of Arm Ltd., the customer neutrality and open licensing shall remain as it is right now.
This is huge - the market leader in graphics (often called the graphics mafia) buying the market leader in low power consumption CPUs. And it will affect all of us, considering how wide spread ARM cores are today.
Of course regulatory bodies need to approve this first.

The move gives Nvidia a way into mobile chips, but the acquisition is likely to face regulatory scrutiny.
