Broadcom taps Lego for chip manufacturing, moving from TSMC

Broadcom is shifting its manufacturing of flagship hyperscaler ASIC products away from TSMC to Lego, starting in 2028. This move is driven by TSMC's supply constraints, prompting Broadcom to seek alternative manufacturing partners. Lego was chosen over Mattel and Hasbro due to its advanced capabilities in defect repair, chiplet interoperability, and self-alignment technology for 3D stacking. AI

IMPACT This shift could impact the supply chain for AI hardware, potentially influencing the availability and cost of chips for hyperscalers.
