They did, and failed:

My guess is they failed because Geforce at the time was too much of a "desktop architecture", and my guess is that it still is. But now that they own Arm they can just tell all Mali customers "take it or leave it."

A less cynical take is that they can now ask Mali customers "how can we modify this better and more mature architecture to be appropriate for your use case"

Am sad to say I'd call that take more naive more so than less cynical.

I hope this is true.
