32、ducts Inc. In a sign of how difficult it can be to get such deals across the finish line, Nvidia last week said getting approval for its proposed purchase of Arm has progressed only slowly. U.K. regulators are assessing whether to give their blessing to a deal that also still needs approval from oth

Intel Corp. meanwhile, has made clear it is interested in acquisitions and has explored purchasingGlobalFoundries Inc. The chip-production firm, owned by an investment arm
34、 of the Abu Dhabi government, is planning an IPO and has so far been unreceptive, however. (Intel last year agreed to sell most of its memory-chip business to South Koreas SK Hynix Inc.) Demand for memory chips has been hot, lifted by new smartphone launches, 5G ex- pansion and demand for PCs and se
35、rvers. Samsung Electron- ics Co., the worlds largest memory-chip maker, last month said roaring demand helped off- set weakness in smartphone shipments. In a reflection of the demand, flash-memory prices have shot up in recent months. That has helped Kioxias valuation since it backed away quire the
36、blessing of the Japa- nese government, given Kioxias significance there and the polit- ical sensitivities of transferring ownership of such key technol- ogy. Washington would also likely play a role, but a deal could fit with a push by the U.S. to boost its chip-making capa- bilities and increase co

Perhaps the biggest regula- tory hurdle would be China, which has been increasingly ag- gressive in its antitrust enforce- ment, helping scuttle potential deals including Qualcomm Inc.s proposed $44 billion purchase of Dutch chip maker NXP Semi- conductors NV in 2018. The
