Nvidia is reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ to buy AR...
Why would nvidia overpay by 22 billion dollars?

Because the sources for this story are investment bankers desperate for bidders?

An ARM owned and fully controlled by NVIDIA is probably worth more to them than an independent and reasonably neutral ARM who's willing to do business with NVIDIA's competitors. Maybe not $22B more, though.

That would imply the purchase is for the purpose of actions that could cause regulators in multiple countries to block the purchase.

There’s an opportunity for arbitrage here then...

Not really. You can't exactly cut in and buy arm from SoftBank for 16 and flip it to nvidia for 32. What's your pitch to SoftBank?
