Qualcomm said on Sept. 8 that it has entered a multigenerational partnership with Amazon to build custom chips for large-scale AI data centers and to work together on AI inference. The companies are also developing optical interconnect solutions at up to 1.6T, along with next-generation technologies beyond that level. As part of the arrangement, Qualcomm plans to deepen its use of Amazon Web Services infrastructure, including Amazon Bedrock, for electronic design automation workloads with the stated goal of shortening chip design cycles. Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon said accelerating AI demand is pushing data center infrastructure to advance in both compute and connectivity. AWS Vice President Prasad Kalyanaraman said the agreement builds on an established partnership and is aimed at delivering infrastructure that is more efficient and more cost-effective for customers.
