> NVIDIA already has an CPU architect team building their own ARM CPUs with an unlimited ARM license.

Famously, the Tegra SoCs, as used in the Nintendo Switch.

No. Precisely the Tegra SoC within the Nintendo Switch (X1) uses ARM Cores. Specifically A57 and A53. NVIDIA's project to develop their own v8.2 ARM-based chip is called Denver.

What do you define the difference between an in-house developed SoC with ARM-IP Cores and Denver's "ARM-based chip"? It is going to be a new architecture, but using a mix of ARM IP blocks and in-house IP following the ARM ISA?
