Meta signs agreement with AWS to power agentic AI on Amazon's Graviton chips
Meta has signed a deal with AWS to deploy tens of millions of Graviton processor cores at scale, making it one of the largest Graviton customers globally. The multi-year agreement supports Meta's growing agentic AI workloads-including real-time reasoning, code generation, and multi-step task orchestration-which are highly CPU-intensive. AWS Graviton5 chips feature 192 cores with 25% better performance than the prior generation, built on energy-efficient 3nm technology. The partnership builds on Meta's long-standing AWS relationship and reflects a broader industry shift toward purpose-built silicon to power next-generation AI infrastructure.
