During the three‑year agreement, Meta acquires hundreds of thousands of Amazon Graviton chips.

Meta Platforms has struck a major deal with Amazon (AWS) for the use of Graviton processors

What happened – Meta Platforms signed an agreement with Amazon Web Services that will allow the company to access hundreds of thousands of Graviton chips for at least three years.

- This event confirms the trend that large technology giants are increasingly using their own processors and sharing them with partners.

Why it matters
1. Rising demand for server CPUs – Intel’s quarterly report showed a sharp increase in the need for central processors for data centers.

2. Graviton efficiency – Amazon’s chips combine high performance with low power consumption (60 % less than competitors).

3. AI training support – Graviton is already widely used for pre‑training models; Meta will now join their ranks of users.

How it fits into the bigger picture – Meta Platforms previously made deals with CoreWeave and Mebius, investing a total of $48 million to expand its own computing infrastructure.

- The new agreement with AWS strengthens this strategy by allowing the company to use cloud resources more cost‑effectively.

Current details – Financial terms of the deal are undisclosed.

- Meta has already used Graviton on a small scale; now it will become one of AWS’s five largest clients and begin leasing hundreds of thousands of chips.

- Until now the company has been renting Nvidia GPU chips from AWS since 2017.

Thus, Meta Platforms is bolstering its position in AI by relying on more efficient server solutions from Amazon while continuing to invest in its own computing power.
