US EditionBroadcom and Meta Forge Multiyear Chip Partnership to Power AI Infrastructure
Broadcom will supply custom accelerators and networking for Meta’s AI data centers, starting with more than 1 gigawatt of computing capacity.
- Meta expanded its partnership with Broadcom to develop custom AI processors, committing over one gigawatt of computing capacity through 2029, while Broadcom CEO Hock Tan transitions to an advisory role on chip strategy.
- This expansion supports Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's ambition to spend up to $135 billion on capital expenditure this year as the company races to build AI infrastructure competing against OpenAI and Google.
- Broadcom confirmed the new MTIA chips will be the industry's first custom AI silicon using a 2-nanometer process, integrating design, packaging, and Ethernet networking technology for inference workloads.
- Unlike Google's TPUs or Amazon's Trainium, Meta's MTIA chips are exclusively for internal use powering advertising systems; Broadcom shares rose 3.02% to $392.26 in after-hours trading on Tuesday.
- Meta described the commitment as the "first phase of a sustained, multi-gigawatt rollout," building on recent investments in AMD GPUs, Nvidia chips, and capacity from CoreWeave and Nebius.
