engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-17 13:00:06

SoftBank's $6.5 billion acquisition of AI-chip designer Ampere is facing an in-depth US government probe that may delay the deal, according to Bloomberg.

Neither SoftBank nor Ampere have commented on the matter. Japan's SoftBank, headed by Masayoshi Son, a
