Arm processors dominate the global embedded and chip IP markets.

Many have noted that the acquisition by Nvidia will spur the growth of RISC-V technology as current Arm customers may now see NVidia as either a direct competitor or at least a quasi-competitor. For example, Chinese companies including Alibaba and Huawei - members of the open-source RISC-V foundation - may be one of the many potential beneficiaries of any retreat from Arm processor technology.
