AI's Cash Splash Continues: Meta Platforms and Broadcom Expand Custom Chip Partnership

Hyperscalers plan to spend between $635 billion and $665 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 alone, a 67% jump from 2025. That cash is fueling deals at a record pace. Around Nvidia's (NVDA) GTC 2026 in March, the chipmaker expanded agreements with AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft (MSFT) Azure, and Oracle (ORCL) OCI.

Google also deepened its compute partnership with Anthropic. AWS struck new ground with OpenAI, while Intel (INTC) teamed up with Google.

Now comes the latest move: Meta and Broadcom’s (AVGO) expanded custom-chip partnership.
