Softbank to sell 25% of ARM to Mabudala?

Thu Mar 09, 2017 4:38 pm

The BBC is reporting that Softbank, having only recently bought ARM, intends to sell off a 25% stake to Mabudala (you know, those guys behind Global Foundries).

Interesting times ahead, if true!

Now that would be funny as hell... AMD goes fabless, and ARM buys their own fab (or rather, a fab goes and buys ARM). They could do a lot of interesting vertical integration and efficiency tricks with their designs if they wanted to go that route in the future.

Really hope that isn't true.
