Nvidia has signed a multiyear agreement to supply Meta with millions of artificial intelligence chips, reinforcing its position at the centre of the global AI infrastructure race.
The deal includes Nvidia’s current Blackwell processors as well as its upcoming Rubin-generation chips. It also covers installations of the company’s Grace and Vera central processing units, marking a broader push by Nvidia into the CPU market traditionally dominated by Intel and AMD.
These processors, built on Arm-based technology, were initially designed to complement Nvidia’s AI accelerators. However, the latest agreement signals a strategic expansion into data centre workloads such as database operations and AI agent execution.
According to Nvidia, its Grace processors can already deliver significant energy savings in certain computing tasks, using roughly half the power in some database workloads. Early testing of the next-generation Vera CPU by Meta has reportedly produced promising performance results.
The partnership comes even as Meta continues to develop its own in-house AI chips and explores collaboration with Google’s Tensor Processing Units.
Although Nvidia did not disclose the financial terms, Meta is widely seen as one of its largest customers, contributing to a significant portion of its data centre revenue.
The agreement underlines Nvidia’s ambition not just to lead in AI acceleration, but also to shape the broader computing architecture behind next-generation data centres.
