BRUSSELS, Dec 20 (Reuters) - The European Commission

said on Friday it has approved unconditionally Nvidia's ( NVDA )

$700 million bid for Run:ai.

The EU's probe into the deal focused on practices that could

strengthen Nvidia's ( NVDA ) control over GPUs, sought-after chips that

divide and process computer tasks, but it concluded that the

acquisition of Run:ai would not raise competition concerns.
