Meta strikes AI chip deal with AMD days after committing to deploy millions of Nvidia GPUs

A week after [Meta](safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/quotes/META/) [committed](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/17/meta-nvidia-deal-ai-data-center-chips.html) to using millions of [Nvidia’s](safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/quotes/NVDA/) processors to power its AI expansion, the social media company has inked another mammoth chip deal, this time with [Advanced Micro Devices](safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/quotes/AMD/). Meta said on Tuesday that the multiyear deal with AMD involves deploying up to 6 gigawatts of the company’s graphics processing units for AI data centers and includes use of AI-optimized central processing units, or CPUs. Early shipments of MI450 GPUs in AMD’s Helios rack-scale servers will begin later this year. AMD CEO Lisa Su said in a statement that her company is delivering “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.” In its [earnings report](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/28/metas-zuckerberg-gets-green-light-from-wall-street-to-invest-in-ai.html) last month, Meta committed to up to $135 billion in capital expenditures this year as it tries to keep pace with its megacap peers as well as OpenAI and Anthropic in the global AI race. Overall, Meta has plans for 30 data centers, including 26 in the U.S. Tuesday’s announcement is a critical development for AMD, which is far behind Nvidia in the AI chip market. Nvidia is now the world’s largest publicly traded company, with a $4.66 trillion valuation, and controls roughly 90% of the market, while AMD is valued at $320 billion.
