Meta looking to use exotic, custom CPU in its datacenters for machine learning and AI — yet another indication that Nvidia's most formidable rivals are developing their own alternatives to its hardware

Meta.

We previously reported that Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, plans to deploy its own custom-designed artificial intelligence chips, codenamed Artemis, into its data centers this year, but would continue using Nvidia H100 GPUs alongside them - for the foreseeable future at least.

However, The Register now claims job advertisements for ASIC engineers with expertise in architecture, design, and testing have been spotted in Bangalore, India, and Sunnyvale, California, indicating Meta's intentions to develop its own AI hardware.
