Meta is done waiting in line for someone else’s chips. The company plans to begin manufacturing its custom AI chip, codenamed Iris, starting in September, as part of a broader push to bring its total computing capacity to 14 gigawatts by 2027.
The company is targeting 7 gigawatts of computing capacity in 2026, then doubling it the following year.
The Iris chip and Meta’s silicon roadmap
Iris isn’t a one-off experiment. It’s one of four planned generations under Meta’s Training and Inference Accelerators program, known internally as MTIA. The company laid out the full four-generation roadmap back in March and expanded its partnership with Broadcom in April to help bring these designs to life.
TSMC, the Taiwanese foundry that manufactures chips for practically every major tech company on earth, will handle production. Broadcom is the design partner.
