Nvidia Denies Reports of PC Maker Acquisition Plans

GROK-1,65%

Gate News message, April 14 — Nvidia has denied reports that it is pursuing the acquisition of a PC or server manufacturer. According to SemiAccurate on April 13, the chipmaker was allegedly in talks to acquire a major PC or server company, with industry sources speculating the target could be Dell Technologies or HP. Nvidia responded that the report is inaccurate and stated it has never engaged in discussions to acquire a PC maker.

Over the past year, Nvidia has made significant investments, including $5 billion in Intel last September, a $20 billion licensing deal with AI inference startup Grok, and $2 billion investments each in EDA firm Synopsys and NVLink Fusion partner Marvell.

However, acquiring an entire PC manufacturer would differ from partial investments and could trigger regulatory scrutiny from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and other competition authorities. Nvidia previously attempted to acquire Arm for $40 billion in 2020 but abandoned the deal in February 2022 after facing opposition from regulators and industry players including Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Samsung.
