Overview
- Meta announced Friday an agreement that starts with tens of millions of AWS Graviton5 CPU cores and leaves room to scale.
- Amazon vice president Nafea Bshara said the pact spans roughly three to five years with most capacity in U.S. data centers.
- The rollout targets agentic AI tasks such as real-time reasoning, code generation, search, and multi-step orchestration that favor high-core CPUs.
- Graviton5 uses a 3-nanometer process with 192 cores and a much larger cache, cutting inter-core delays by up to 33% and improving performance over Graviton4 by up to 25%.
- The agreement makes Meta one of AWS’s largest Graviton customers and bolsters Amazon’s custom-silicon strategy as enterprises diversify beyond GPUs.
