Qualcomm Technologies and Meta have announced a strategic multi-generation collaboration for Qualcomm Technologies to be a supplier for data center CPUs for Meta. 

Qualcomm Technologies’ data center CPU, the Dragonfly C1000, is planned to power Meta’s next-generation server fleet, underscoring the growing importance of high-performance, power-efficient compute in large-scale scale-out environments.

Its solutions will be in production starting in the second half of 2028 and future data centre capacity expansions. 

Qualcomm said its platform approach, spanning advanced compute, high-performance connectivity, and system-level optimization, is designed to deliver substantial performance per watt and help reduce total cost of ownership at scale.

"We designed our data center CPU to deliver leading performance per core and a breakthrough in power efficiency for large scale data center deployments, and this multi-generation agreement with Meta is a significant validation of that approach," remarked Cristiano Amon, the President and CEO, Qualcomm Incorporated.

"We’re thrilled to build on our partnership with Meta, expanding from devices to data center. And this is just the beginning," he stated.

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO, Meta, said: "We're excited to continue partnering with Qualcomm Technologies as they design the next generation of CPUs for Meta."

"Along with our other compute investments, we're quickly building the infrastructure we need to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone in the world," he added.
