Meta to Spend Billions on AMD Gear, AI Scare Trade Continues

And so you guys are basically saying throughput in terms of flops per millimeter squared, this is something you can own.

Bloomberg Tech

What was the breakthrough?

Bloomberg Tech

What is it that you're so good at to achieve this?

Bloomberg Tech
Meta to Spend Billions on AMD Gear, AI Scare Trade Continues

Yeah, so there's really a combination of two things.

Bloomberg Tech

If you look at the products in the market previously, there's been the HBM-based family, which is Nvidia, Google, Amazon, and then there's been the SRAM-based family.

Bloomberg Tech

And you are SRAM?

Bloomberg Tech
Meta to Spend Billions on AMD Gear, AI Scare Trade Continues

We are both, actually, uniquely.

Bloomberg Tech

So it's kind of taking two good ideas and putting them together.

Bloomberg Tech

It is possible to do both very high throughput, as you get from HBM, but also very low latency, as you get from SRAM, and do that in the same product.

Bloomberg Tech

What it gives you is actually a product that is better than any other product in the market at throughput.

Bloomberg Tech

This is exactly the flops per square millimeter that you described, while also matching some of the best, like the Cerebrus and the Grok at latency.

Let's talk about how quickly people could start deploying this right now, because what your aim is to complete the final design this year.

Bloomberg Tech

You hope to start manufacturing shipping even in 2027.

Bloomberg Tech

Who do you need to partner with on that?

Bloomberg Tech

How do you expect to be manufacturing here in the U.S.

Bloomberg Tech

or abroad?

Bloomberg Tech
Meta to Spend Billions on AMD Gear, AI Scare Trade Continues

Yeah, so I mean, there's a few big parts of the supply chain, and this is common for us as well as many other semiconductor firms in this space.

Bloomberg Tech
Meta to Spend Billions on AMD Gear, AI Scare Trade Continues

Really, you need logic wafers, memory wafers, which is HBM, and then you need rack build-outs.

Bloomberg Tech

And so those are the big parts of our supply chain.

Bloomberg Tech

TSMC is well-recognized as the best provider of logic wafers.
