Facebook could be forming a team to develop its own chipsets to be used in its data servers or hardware devices

Facebook will not be the first tech major to try and develop its own chips after Apple did so in 2010 followed by Google which makes its own AI chips. While tech giants are still largely dependent on chipmakers such as Intel and Qualcomm for chips, a new report states that Facebook could be in the early stages of trying to develop its own chipsets. https://t.co/D4l9kLpIlV — Yann LeCun April 18, 2018 Facebook, despite being a social media company could require its own chips to run a number of hardware devices it plans on releasing in the near future. Making its own chips could help Facebook further reduce manufacturing costs while also helping them optimise hardware better.
