According to Reuters, the deal is worth $60 billion, runs over five years, and comes hot on the heels of another Meta deal with Nvidia earlier this month.

The agreement will see the first gigawatt of GPUs and CPUs delivered in the second half of 2026, and includes several as-yet-to-debut rackable chips.

AMD and Meta have long been partners in developing custom chips, but these are specifically built for inference, the process of creating answers for user queries.

— This is an important step for Meta as we diversify our compute, says Mark Zuckerberg on the deal.

AMD entered into a similar deal with OpenAI in October, 2025, meaning it might soon be 20% owned by AI labs.
