Santa Clara, California, USA - September 17, 2024:
Intel and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have deepened their strategic partnership with a significant co-investment in custom chip designs. This expanded collaboration will see Intel produce cutting-edge AI fabric chips and custom Xeon 6 chips for AWS, leveraging the company's advanced manufacturing capabilities.
The partnership is a major step towards bolstering U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing and creating a vibrant AI ecosystem in Ohio. Intel's ongoing investment in the region, coupled with AWS's planned expansion of its data center operations, will significantly contribute to the state's economic growth and technological advancement.
This strategic alliance offers several benefits for both Intel and AWS. Intel will gain access to a large and growing market for its advanced chip designs, while AWS will be able to provide its customers with even more powerful and innovative cloud infrastructure. The collaboration also aligns with both companies' commitment to supporting the growth of a sustainable domestic AI supply chain.
As the partnership evolves, Intel and AWS plan to explore further opportunities for collaboration, including the production of additional chip designs on Intel's future process nodes and the migration of existing Intel designs to these platforms. This continued investment in research and development will help to drive innovation and ensure that both companies remain at the forefront of the semiconductor industry.
