$32.2 billion cash deal make bold bet on internet of things machines that will transform the Japanese group. Components based on technology licensed by ARM are found in most of the world's smartphones. ARM stands to be central to the tech industry's shift to the 'internet of things' - a network of devices, vehicles and building sensors that collect and exchange data - a stated focus for SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son.

My personal position on Arm and Softbank is that Arm sell cos they will lose part of his price when RISC-V chips come to mass markets.
If google want to buy ARM they can do it but 32 billion is too much ... for ARM in case we have RISC-V and future market is on IOT devices.
