Meta and AMD: A 6GW GPU Gamble to Power the Next AI Era
Meta just doubled down on its AI ambitions by locking AMD into a 6GW GPU partnership—here’s why this matters for the future of AI.
Meta and AMD announced a multi-year agreement to deploy up to 6GW of AMD Instinct GPUs for AI infrastructure. Shipments of the first GPU deployments will begin in Q3 2026, built on Meta’s Helios rack-scale architecture developed with AMD.
AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su stated: "This multi-year, multi-generation collaboration... will deliver high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure optimized for Meta’s workloads."
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg added: "This is an important step for Meta as we diversify our compute."
