Wall Street Journal sources say SoftBank is close to a deal to sell ARM Holdings to NVIDIA for “more than” $40 billion. The two have reportedly been in exclusive talks for several weeks, and an agreement is near enough that they could finalize the sale by early next week.
The deal would turn a profit for SoftBank, which bought ARM in 2016 for $32 billion.
NVIDIA declined to comment to Engadget. We’ve also asked SoftBank and ARM for comment.
