For months, there have been rumors that Facebook wants to make chips on its own. Now, this social networking company really wants to do that. Bloomberg reported Friday that Facebook has successfully attracted a senior engineer from Google to lead Facebook's chip research.

Facebook has just stepped out of the haze of the user's privacy and has been on the headlines of the media, but this time is a positive news. According to foreign media, the chief Facebook scientist says the company is developing a new chip that will improve the speed of video filtering after the development.

The ranks of the tech giants who have developed their own chips have grown again. This time they joined Facebook. According to Bloomberg, Facebook is currently setting up a chip R&D team that will develop chips for Facebook’s future hardware products. More importantly, it will greatly reduce Facebook's reliance on traditional chip vendors such as Intel and Qualcomm.
