NVIDIA has officially announced that it bought the semiconductor design company Arm for US$40 billion, which will help expand the graphics giant's presence in mobile computing. It plans to invest more in artificial intelligence technology to bring it to platforms like smartphones, PCs, and self-driving cars. Arm will gain access to NVIDIA's products and more support for its R&D initiatives. NVIDIA says it will build an AI supercomputer powered by Arm CPUs at its Cambridge headquarters to cement its commitment to the acquisition.
NVIDIA assures that Arm's technology will maintain its open licensing model and neutrality with current customers, which means Arm designs can take advantage of NVIDIA's tech as well. We should expect some unconventional chip designs from NVIDIA in the future. NVIDIA and Arm's boards have approved the acquisition, and the companies expect to close the transaction within 18 months. It'll require regulatory approval in the US, UK, EU, and China, of course.

Apple does as Apple does, so it isn't surprising the tech giant developed its own face masks for its corporate and retail employees to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

These teams are the same groups who work on gadgets like the iPhone and iPad.

Sony's gearing up for a 40-minute PlayStation 5 Showcase event on Wednesday, September 16. The "digital showcase" will feature updates from first-party Sony game studios and third-party partners to give us "one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!)." The Verge speculates that Sony might also reveal the release date and price for the PS5, given that Microsoft has already announced the pricing of the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X after the Series S got leaked.
The PS5 pre-registration for preorders went up last month, but Sony hasn't revealed the date for official preorders or pricing and release date. If you want to check out Sony's next-gen console, you can tune in to the event happening at 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT on Sony's Twitch or YouTube.
