Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Meta and AMD announced a partnership on Tuesday to grow Meta's AI infrastructure with its Instinct graphics processor chips.
The companies agreed on a multi-year deal that would see AMD deliver up to six gigawatts of its AMD Instinct GPUs. The first delivery of processing chips is slated for the second half of the year.
"This multi-year, multi-generation collaboration across Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and rack-scale AI systems aligns our roadmaps to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure optimized for Meta's workloads, accelerating one of the industry's largest AI deployments and placing AMD at the center of the global AI buildout," Lisa Su, chair and CEO of AMD, said in a statement.
The total value of the deal between Meta and AMD was not disclosed in the press release.
Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg said he expects the partnership with AMD to continue "for many years to come."
