April 14 (Reuters) – Meta and Broadcom on Tuesday announced a multi-year partnership under which the chip designer will provide technology supporting Meta’s custom AI accelerators, as the social media giant rapidly expands its data centers.
Broadcom’s shares rose 3.4% in extended trading.
The companies said the initial 1-gigawatt commitment represents only the first phase of a “sustained, multi-gigawatt rollout,” with a shared roadmap to co-design and scale hardware aimed at delivering real-time generative AI features and what Meta calls “personal superintelligence” to billions of users across its platforms.
Meta last month unveiled a roadmap of four new chips that it is making in-house as part of its Meta Training and Inference Accelerator program.
