Nothing is stopping Nvidia from creating a N2 SoC that competes with the Apple M1. They don’t need to own ARM to do that. They can even create their own SOC with a Nvidia GPU.

Exactly, which raises the question why they are interested in buying Arm to begin with. A public statement is in the article:

"With its proposed acquisition of Arm, NVIDIA will be able to turn new AI possibilities into realities much faster."

Which doesn’t make much sense to me, unless they wish to change aspects of Arm that is currently outside of any license.

Somewhat off topic, but I found the idea of different prices interesting. It reminds me of industrial diamonds vs natural diamonds. If I have understood things correctly, industrial diamonds have reached a level of quality that is at the same or even higher quality than natural diamonds. However that has still not affected the price of natural diamonds for some reason.
