Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Meta have finalized a long-term, multi-generation strategic agreement establishing Qualcomm as a core data center CPU vendor for the social technology giant. According to the agreement, Qualcomm’s recently launched data center processor, the Qualcomm Dragonfly™ C1000, will be used in Meta’s next generation server design. This collaboration highlights a significant structural transition towards high performance and energy efficient architecture in hyperscale and scale-out data center environment.
The silicon-based parts will be commercially available during the second half of 2028 and will form an integral part of the data center strategy of Meta for the years to come. Qualcomm’s entire approach to the platform, which includes custom-built architectures for advanced computing, high bandwidth connectivity systems, and hardware-software optimization, is designed to deliver performance-per-watt efficiencies as well as reduce TCO (total cost of ownership).
