Meta commits to 1 gigawatt of custom AI chips with Broadcom through 2029

Meta and Broadcom have announced an extended partnership through 2029 for designing Meta's custom AI accelerators. Meta has committed to deploying one gigawatt of its training and inference accelerators under the agreement. The deal expands an existing collaboration between the two companies focused on Meta's in-house chip development. As part of the arrangement, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan has agreed to leave Meta's board of directors. Broadcom shares rose 3% in extended trading following the announcement. The partnership underscores Meta's continued investment in custom silicon to power its artificial intelligence infrastructure and reduce reliance on third-party chip suppliers.

Meta and Broadcom partner on industry-first 2nm AI chip with multi-gigawatt rollout

Broadcom and Meta have announced a multi-year strategic partnership to support Meta's AI compute infrastructure through 2029. The collaboration centres on Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chips, with an initial deployment exceeding one gigawatt as part of a sustained multi-gigawatt rollout. The partnership will deliver what the companies call the industry's first 2nm AI compute accelerator. Broadcom will provide its XPU platform for chip co-development and advanced Ethernet technologies for networking across Meta's expanding AI compute clusters. The technology will underpin Meta's deployment of generative AI features across WhatsApp, Instagram and Threads. Meta aims to deliver what it calls "personal superintelligence" to billions of users globally. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan will transition from Meta's board to an advisory role focusing on Meta's custom silicon roadmap.

AI hardware stocks show strong financial performance despite bubble fears

A Motley Fool survey found that 41% of investors believe AI stock prices have reached speculative levels and are likely in a bubble. However, recent financial results from leading AI hardware companies suggest otherwise. Nvidia's sales rose 73% to $68.1 billion in Q4 2026, with non-GAAP earnings per share up 82%. TSMC's earnings increased 35% and revenue jumped 21% to $33.7 billion in Q4 2025. Broadcom's sales grew 29% to $19.3 billion, with non-GAAP earnings per share rising 28% in Q1 2026. Each company holds dominant market positions: Nvidia controls 86% of the AI data centre processor market, TSMC manufactures 70% of the world's processors, and Broadcom is estimated to hold 60% of the application-specific integrated circuit market by next year.
