Broadcom's custom silicon and networking solutions will form the backbone of Meta's rapidly expanding AI infrastructure.Palo Alto TodayBroadcom and Meta have announced a multi-year, multi-generation strategic partnership to support Meta's rapidly scaling artificial intelligence compute infrastructure. Broadcom will deliver technology supporting Meta's custom MTIA AI chips, with plans to extend the collaboration through 2029. This will serve as the foundational backbone for Meta's deployment of state-of-the-art AI data centers to power next-generation AI features across its apps.
Why it matters
This expanded partnership highlights the massive compute demands of Meta's AI ambitions as it seeks to bring 'personal superintelligence' to billions of users globally. Broadcom's custom silicon and networking solutions will be critical in scaling Meta's AI infrastructure to meet this challenge over the coming years.
The details
The initial commitment exceeds 1GW of Broadcom's custom MTIA silicon, with plans for a sustained, multi-gigawatt rollout over time. Broadcom's foundational XPU (Custom Accelerator) platform will allow the companies to tightly couple logic, memory, and high-speed I/O for current MTIA deployments, while establishing a multi-generation blueprint for future iterations. Broadcom is also delivering its industry-leading Ethernet networking solutions to address the scale-up, scale-out, and scale-across requirements of Meta's rapidly expanding AI compute clusters.
- The partnership extends through 2029.
- The initial 1GW MTIA deployment is just the first phase of a sustained, multi-gigawatt rollout.
The players
Broadcom Inc.
A technology leader that designs, develops, and supplies semiconductors and infrastructure software for global organizations' complex, mission-critical needs.
Meta
The company that builds technologies to help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses, including apps like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Hock Tan
President and CEO of Broadcom, who will transition off of Meta's Board of Directors and into an advisor role to provide guidance on Meta's custom silicon roadmap.
Mark Zuckerberg
Founder and CEO of Meta, who stated that the partnership with Broadcom will give Meta greater performance and efficiency for delivering 'personal superintelligence' to billions of people.
What they’re saying
“We are pleased to expand our strategic collaboration with Meta as they pioneer the next frontier of artificial intelligence. This initial MTIA deployment is just the beginning of a sustained, multi-generation roadmap to serve the trajectory of massive growth over the next few years highlighting Broadcom's unmatched leadership in AI networking and the power of our foundational XPU custom accelerator platform.”
— Hock Tan, President and CEO, Broadcom
“Meta is partnering with Broadcom across chip design, packaging, and networking to build out the massive computing foundation we need to deliver personal superintelligence to billions of people. As we roll out more than 1GW of our custom silicon to start and then multiple gigawatts over time, this partnership will give us greater performance and efficiency for everything we're building.”
— Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO, Meta
What’s next
The partnership between Broadcom and Meta will continue to expand over the coming years as the companies co-develop future generations of MTIA silicon and networking solutions to power Meta's growing AI infrastructure.
The takeaway
This landmark partnership underscores the massive scale and compute demands of Meta's AI ambitions as it seeks to bring advanced AI capabilities to billions of users globally. Broadcom's custom silicon and networking expertise will be critical in helping Meta build the foundational infrastructure to support its vision of 'personal superintelligence'.
