Meta signs agreement with AMD for chip supply to develop superintelligence
The company Meta has signed a multi-year agreement with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for chip supply worth up to $100 billion. This partnership will help create artificial intelligence systems aimed at enhancing user interaction in everyday life.
According to Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, the new agreement is a strategic step to reduce risks in the company’s computing capabilities. The purchase of AMD chips will provide about six gigawatts of power for data centers, equivalent to the power of several large power plants.
Meta plans to purchase MI540 series graphics processors and the latest central processing units from AMD. These CPUs have proven to be energy-efficient solutions for processing artificial intelligence queries and allow reducing dependency on a single supplier. Part of the agreement includes a warrant to purchase up to 160 million shares of AMD at a nominal price of $0.01 per share, the transfer of which is contingent upon achieving certain financial targets.
In the AI chip market, AMD is gradually strengthening its position, which was previously occupied by NVIDIA. Many tech companies are attempting to reduce dependency on NVIDIA due to the high cost of products and monopolization risks. In 2026, Meta signed another multi-year agreement with NVIDIA for the supply of millions of CPUs and GPUs to expand its data centers and invest in developing its own chips.
Earlier, Meta announced plans to invest at least $600 billion in the development of data centers and AI infrastructure in the US over the coming years. It is forecasted that the company’s capital expenditures could reach $135 billion in 2026.
