Meta to put AI chip into production in September as it looks to double computing capacity, memo shows

Meta Platforms plans to manufacture its own artificial intelligence chip starting September. This initiative aims to significantly increase the company's overall computing power by next year. The custom-designed chip, code-named Iris, is part of a multi-generation project. Meta is working with Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co for design and production. This move seeks to reduce costs and gain independence from external chip suppliers.
