Meta unveils plans for batch of in-house AI chips

Meta Platforms on Wednesday unveiled a roadmap of four new chips that the company is making in-house, as it rapidly expands its data centers.

Like many big tech companies such as Alphabet and Microsoft, Meta has invested heavily in building a team that can design chips in-house in addition to purchasing off-the-shelf products made by Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices.

Making chips designed to tackle the ‌specific types of ⁠data ⁠crunching Meta requires can lead to designs that use less energy and at a better cost.
