Facebook hires top Google engineer to head its chip development
Google snapped up a few Apple chip design talents over the past year to create its own processors, but now it has lost one of its own to another rival. According to Bloomberg, Facebook has hired Shahriar Rabii to head its silicon development efforts. Based on his LinkedIn profile, Rabii led the group that designs chips for the big G's devices, and one of the team's creations is the Pixel Visual Core, which is the tech giant's first custom imaging chip that allows third-party apps like Instagram to take HDR+ quality photos. He was with Google up until sometime this month and has only just joined the social network.
