Gate News message, April 15 — Broadcom and Meta announced yesterday (April 14) an expanded partnership extending through 2029, with Broadcom continuing to provide technical support for Meta’s custom accelerators (MTIA). The initial commitment exceeds 1 gigawatt (GW) as part of Meta’s multi-gigawatt deployment plan. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan will step down from Meta’s board after two years to become an advisor, focusing on Meta’s custom chip roadmap and infrastructure investment planning.
The companies will jointly develop the industry’s first AI chip using 2-nanometer process technology. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated the collaboration will support building computational infrastructure capable of bringing “personal super intelligence” to billions of users. Following the announcement, Broadcom (Nasdaq: AVGO) shares rose over 3% in after-hours trading on April 14, while Meta (Nasdaq: META) remained relatively flat. Broadcom’s stock has gained nearly 10% year-to-date.
MTIA (Meta Training and Inference Accelerator) is Meta’s custom chip series designed for AI training and inference workloads, first introduced in May 2023. Tech giants are increasingly turning to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) like those Broadcom specializes in as alternatives to Nvidia and AMD’s expensive, supply-constrained GPUs. Google pioneered custom ASIC development with Broadcom for its TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), and last week Broadcom announced expanded collaboration with Google and a new compute supply agreement with Anthropic.
