Meta’s $2B AI Chip Bet: Acquiring Rivos to Challenge Nvidia’s Dominance?

Meta’s $2B AI Chip Bet: Acquiring Rivos to Challenge Nvidia’s Dominance?

Meta’s move to acquire Rivos comes amid a major push by Big Tech to own the chips that power AI. The Santa Clara–based startup Rivos is a “stealth” AI-chip developer whose founders include former Apple and AMD engineers reuters.com waldencatalyst.com. Rivos’ CEO Puneet Kumar explains the company’s strategy: by targeting smaller installations, Rivos can offer cost-effective AI chips “where Nvidia might seem like an overkill from a cost perspective,” providing a solution “that works well enough and can compete quite well” waldencatalyst.com. In practice, Rivos is designing its chip around software for large-scale AI models. As Kumar told Reuters, “usually

NVIDIA’s $4 Trillion AI Revolution: How the Chipmaker Overtook Apple and Microsoft

Nvidia’s $5 Billion Intel Bet Shakes Up the Chip Industry in Surprise Alliance

A Surprise Alliance to Revive an Icon Nvidia’s $5 billion wager on Intel marks a stunning alliance between longtime rivals.

Intel, for its part, had fallen on hard times due to technological missteps and fierce competition from Asia’s foundries and fabless competitors like AMD. By 2025, Intel was struggling to regain its former glory: its stock and market share had been eroded by manufacturing delays and the loss of key
