BEIJING - China 's ByteDance is working with U.S. chip designer Broadcom on developing an advanced AI processor, two sources familiar with the matter said, a move that would help TikTok's owner secure sufficient supply of high-end chips amid U.S.-Sino tensions.
TSMC is, however, not expected to start manufacturing the new chip this year, they said. One of them said while design work is well underway, the "tapeout" - which marks the end of the design phase and the beginning of manufacturing - has not started.Like many global tech firms, ByteDance has launched a major push in generative artificial intelligence but the company and its Chinese peers have to contend with far more limited supply of AI chips than their overseas counterparts.
To support its AI push, ByteDance has stockpiled Nvidia chips, according to a separate person who was briefed on the matter. Bytedance currently has hundreds of semiconductor-related job openings posted, including 15 for ASIC chip designers, according to checks of its website.
