Meta has signed a multiyear agreement with Nvidia to expand its data centers with millions of Nvidia chips, including Grace and Vera CPUs and Blackwell and Rubin GPUs, marking a significant expansion of its existing partnership with the chip manufacturer.
The deal is notable as it represents the first large-scale deployment of Nvidia Grace chips, which Nvidia claims will deliver significant performance-per-watt improvements in Meta’s data centers. Additionally, the agreement includes plans to integrate Nvidia‘s next-generation Vera CPUs into Meta’s data centers by 2027. While Meta has long relied on Nvidia‘s hardware for its AI products, the company is also working on developing its own in-house chips for running AI models, although it has reportedly encountered technical challenges and rollout delays.
The impact of this deal is expected to be significant, as it will enable Meta to further enhance its AI capabilities and support the growing demands of its data centers. With the integration of Nvidia‘s advanced chips, Meta is poised to improve the performance and efficiency of its AI operations, which will likely have a major impact on its future product developments and services. As the company continues to navigate the development of its own in-house chips, its partnership with Nvidia will play a crucial role in supporting its AI ambitions in the near term.
