Amazon Signs Deal With Meta To Deploy AWS Graviton For AI
KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- Amazon has signed an agreement with Meta to deploy Amazon Web Services (AWS) Graviton processors at scale, marking a significant expansion of their long-standing partnership as Meta builds its next generation of artificial intelligence (AI).
According to Amazon in a statement, the deployment starts with tens of millions of Graviton cores, with the flexibility to expand further as Meta’s AI capabilities grow.
The deal reflects a shift in how AI infrastructure is being built. While graphics processing units (GPUs) remain essential for training large models, the rise of agentic AI is driving strong demand for central processing unit (CPU)-intensive workloads.
Graviton5 is purpose-built for these workloads, such as real-time reasoning, code generation, search, and orchestrating multi-step tasks, giving Meta the processing power to run them efficiently at scale.
The chips will power a range of workloads at Meta, including supporting its AI initiatives, which require infrastructure capable of handling billions of interactions while coordinating complex, multi-step agent workflows—precisely the type of CPU-intensive computing Graviton is designed to support.
Guided by customer obsession, pace of innovation, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking, AWS is trusted by millions of customers to accelerate innovation, transform their businesses, and shape the future.
