Qualcomm Inks Multi-Generation Deal with Amazon for Customized Silicon

Qualcomm has announced a major deal with Amazon to supply customized silicon for AI inference across multiple product generations. The two companies will also work together on optical connectivity, which could reach speeds of up to 1.6T.

The collaboration is significant because it covers large-scale AI data centers, and Qualcomm's CEO Cristiano Amon said that 'data center infrastructure will require advances in both computing and connectivity.'

Qualcomm has already unveiled its Dragonfly C1000 data center CPU, which Meta Platforms Inc. plans to use from 2028 production.
