据报道，Meta 计划对元宇宙相关部门 Reality Labs 的芯片开发团队进行裁员。据知情人士透露，该部门大约有 600 名员工。此前，该部门一直致力于开发定制芯片，为 Meta 设备提供独有功能并提高性能，使其有别于其他 VR/AR 设备。然而，Meta 一直没能生产出能与外部产品相竞争的芯片，因此其设备搭载了高通芯片。Meta 本周发布的 Quest 3 搭载了高通骁龙 XR2 Gen 2 芯片，内置 8GB 内存，Meta 表示其图形性能是 Quest 2 的两倍，甚至比运行上一代 XR2+芯片的 Quest Pro 还要强。128GB 的 Quest 3 售价为 499.99 美元（约合 3655 元人民币），512GB 的版本售价为 649.99 美元（约合 4751 元人民币）。知情人士透露，该公司还在开发技术上更具挑战性、体积更小、外观更像普通眼镜的 AR 眼镜，以及相关的智能手表。这位知情人士表示，该产品的首个版本将于明年完成，尽管 Meta 最初并不打算将其广泛提供给消费者。

According to reports, Meta plans to lay off the chip development team of the 元宇宙相关部门 Reality Labs. According to sources, the department had about 600 employees. It had previously been working on developing custom chips for Meta devices, providing unique features and improving performance. However, Meta has not been able to produce chips that can compete with external products, so its devices have used Qualcomm chips. Meta’s Quest 3, which was released last week, comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, 8GB of memory, and claims graphics performance that is twice that of the Quest 2 and stronger than the Quest Pro running the previous generation XR2+ chip. The 128GB Quest 3 costs $499.99 (about 3655 yuan), and the 512GB version costs $649.99 (about 4751 yuan). The source says that the company is also developing technology for more challenging, smaller, and more ordinary-looking AR glasses, as well as related smartwatches. The person in charge says that the first version of the product will be completed next year, though Meta initially did not intend to widely provide it to consumers.
