Meta signs multi-billion-dollar deal with AWS for Graviton5, tens of millions of CPU cores dedicated to agentic AI

CryptoWorld News: Meta has signed a multi-year partnership agreement with AWS valued at billions of dollars, deploying tens of millions of AWS Graviton5 CPU cores. Meta Infrastructure Head Santosh Janardhan stated that diversifying compute sources is a strategic priority, and Graviton will handle CPU-intensive workloads in agentic AI. Each Graviton5 chip is equipped with 192 ARM Neoverse V3 cores, with a level 3 cache five times larger than the previous generation, 33% lower inter-core communication latency, and a 25% overall performance increase. AWS is anchoring its narrative around the demand for CPUs in agentic AI, where AI agents require executing logical judgments, file management, network calls, and code execution—tasks that demand continuous computation and low-latency inter-core communication. Previously, Anthropic also signed a $100 billion, 10-year agreement with AWS, including tens of millions of Graviton cores. Meta’s move further broadens its compute supplier portfolio, which already includes NVIDIA, ARM, and AMD, and it is also developing its own training and inference acceleration chips.
