Synopsys and Amazon launch multi-year AI chip design collaboration
Synopsys and Amazon announced a multi‑year partnership to accelerate custom silicon development and AI‑powered engineering. The agreement expands Amazon's use of Synopsys' silicon IP, EDA tools and agentic AI solutions. Synopsys will adopt Amazon EC2, cloud storage and Bedrock to speed its own product development. The deal is reported to be worth more than a billion dollars.
Why it matters
The companies say the partnership will generate license and royalty revenue for Synopsys as Amazon scales its chip production, while Amazon gains expanded IP and AI‑enhanced design tools that could improve its custom silicon performance and AWS competitiveness.
