Meta Platforms (META) says it will use millions of Nvidia’s (NVDA) microchips in its artificial intelligence (A.I.) data centres as part of a new deal between the tech titans.
In a news release, Meta said that it plans to use Nvidia’s new standalone CPUs and next-generation Vera Rubin systems at the data centres it is currently building.
While financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, analyst said it would run into
the tens of billions of dollars.
In January of this year, Meta Platforms announced plans to spend up to $135 billion U.S. on A.I. in 2026.
The latest chip purchase continues the partnership between Meta and Nvidia. Meta Platforms has been using Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) and other processors for a decade.
Meta will become the first company to deploy Nvidia’s Grace central processing units (CPUs) as standalone microchips in its data centres.
Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin processors are expected to be released in 2027.
The multiyear deal is part of Meta’s overall commitment to spend $600 billion U.S. in America by 2028 on data centres and the infrastructure the facilities require.
Meta has announced plans to run a total of 30 data centres, 26 of which will be based in the United States. Its two largest A.I. data centres are under construction in Ohio and Louisiana.
Nvidia’s technology remains in demand worldwide, with its latest Blackwell GPUs on back order.
META stock has declined 11% in the last 12 months to trade at $639.29 U.S. a share.
NVDA stock has risen 33% over the past year and currently trades at $184.97 U.S. per share.
