US EditionMeta and AMD Agree to AI Chips Deal Worth More Than $100 Billion
Meta will deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD GPUs and AI-optimized CPUs in 30 data centers to expand AI capacity amid intense competition and compute constraints.
- Meta signed a multiyear deal on Tuesday to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of Advanced Micro Devices GPUs and AI-optimized CPUs in its AI data centers.

- Meta plans 30 data centers including 26 in the U.S. and pursues in-house processors while discussing Google tensor processing units for 2027, with Nvidia quarterly earnings on Wednesday in focus.
