Amazon signs multiyear $1 billion+ deal with Synopsys to accelerate AWS custom silicon
Amazon announced a multiyear intellectual‑property agreement with Synopsys valued at more than $1 billion. The partnership gives AWS access to Synopsys’ advanced chip‑design software and IP, while Synopsys will use Amazon’s cloud services for its own product development. The deal builds on a relationship that has lasted over 15 years and targets AWS’s Graviton, Trainium and other purpose‑built processors.
Why it matters
Amazon expects the agreement to deepen its custom‑silicon advantage for AWS, supporting its high‑growth chips business that already exceeds a $25 billion annual revenue run rate. Synopsys’ CEO said the company sees a “significant commercial opportunity” as Amazon becomes its lead customer for the next phase of growth.
