Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Meta has entered a multiyear deal with Nvidia to expand its data centers with millions of Nvidia's Grace and Vera CPUs and Blackwell and Rubin GPUs. This represents the first large-scale deployment of Nvidia's Grace-only CPUs, which Nvidia claims will deliver significant performance-per-watt improvements in Meta's data centers. The deal also includes plans to add Nvidia's next-generation Vera CPUs to Meta's data centers in 2027. Meta continues to work on its own in-house chips for AI workloads while expanding its partnership with Nvidia to meet growing inference datacenter needs.
