- Meta partners with Broadcom to deploy industry’s first 2nm AI computer accelerator; basis for a sustainable, multi-year rollout of the infrastructure.
- The companies will work together over the next three years next generations of AI accelerator chips to meet Meta’s escalating compute needs for next-generation AI models.
- Partnership built on Broadcom’s industry-leading XPU platform to deeply evolve and optimize Meta’s AI infrastructure across multiple silicon generations.
- The deployment leverages Broadcom’s advanced Ethernet technologies to enable seamless scale-up, scale-out and scale-out across high-bandwidth networks, eliminating bottlenecks in Meta’s rapidly growing AI computing clusters.
PALO ALTO, California and MENLO PARK, California, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Meta (NASDAQ: META) today announced a multi-year, multi-generational strategic partnership to support Meta’s rapidly scaling artificial intelligence computing infrastructure. Building on their existing partnership, Broadcom will provide technology to support Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chips, with plans to extend through 2029. This technology will serve as the fundamental backbone for Meta’s deployment of state-of-the-art AI data centers.
The initial commitment exceeds 1 GW and is the first phase of a sustainable multi-gigawatt rollout. This reinforces a shared roadmap for co-designing and scaling the hardware needed to deliver real-time generative AI capabilities and “personal superintelligence” to billions of people worldwide through apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and Threads.
Central to this growing infrastructure footprint is the rapid deployment of Meta’s MTIA silicon, enabled through deep technical co-design through Broadcom’s foundational Custom Accelerator (XPU) platform. This platform approach allows Broadcom and Meta to tightly couple logic, memory, and high-speed I/O for current deployments, while establishing a highly customizable, multi-generational blueprint to co-develop future iterations of the MTIA portfolio over the coming years. MTIA is a key pillar of Meta’s broader silicon strategy, which deploys different accelerators for different workloads. The MTIA portfolio combines purpose-built hardware to optimize both performance and total cost of ownership at scale.
“We are excited to expand our strategic partnership with Meta as they pioneer the field of artificial intelligence,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom. “This initial MTIA deployment is just the beginning of a sustainable, multi-generational roadmap that will serve the trajectory of tremendous growth in the years to come, highlighting Broadcom’s unrivaled leadership in AI networking and the power of our foundational custom XPU accelerator platform.”
“Meta is working with Broadcom on chip design, packaging and networking to build the massive computing base we need to deliver personal super intelligence to billions of people,” said Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “As we deploy more than 1 GW of our custom silicon initially and then multiple gigawatts over time, this partnership will bring us better performance and efficiency for everything we build.”
To support the massive compute density of MTIA clusters and future expansions, Broadcom is delivering its industry-leading Ethernet networking solutions to meet scale-up, scale-out and over-scale requirements. Broadcom’s high-radix Ethernet switches, optical connectivity products, PCIe switches and high-speed SerDes capabilities provide a standards-based, low-latency fabric. This future-proof Ethernet backbone is critical for scaling compute bandwidth within individual MTIA racks, and scaling out and scaling up network capacity across tens of thousands of nodes, eliminating congestion during the most intensive AI workloads.
This comprehensive suite of multi-generation MTIA and networking solutions will play an important role in scaling the latest and future generations of MTIA clusters.
The partnership extends well beyond hardware delivery and focuses strongly on continuous system-level optimization and forward-looking R&D. Because MTIA prioritizes inference and low-precision processing for maximum efficiency, the supporting infrastructure must provide near-zero latency. Broadcom’s Ethernet-based rack-scale interconnects will ensure continuous use of current and future MTIA networks, elegantly handling evolving memory hierarchies while dramatically reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the life of Meta’s multi-generation infrastructure.
As Meta continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to bring AI to billions of people, the Broadcom partnership and MTIA program will remain a critical part of that strategy – delivering the custom, workload-optimized silicon that powers Meta’s AI future.
Given the scope of this expanded partnership, Hock Tan will transition from Meta’s Board of Directors to an advisory role for Meta, where he will provide guidance on Meta’s customized silicon roadmap and help shape the future of their infrastructure investments.
