More good news for Amazon, Snowflake signs $6B deal with AWS for AI CPU chips | TechCrunch

Snowflake has signed a $6 billion, five-year agreement with Amazon Web Services, marking a major expansion of its cloud spend. Snowflake has historically run on AWS, and the deal reflects rising demand for AI-ready compute. The contract centers on greater access to AWS’s Graviton ARM CPUs, which underpin much of the AI workload.

AWS notes Snowflake’s customers are accelerating AWS spend, forecasting $2 billion in 2025. The arrangement underscores AWS’s push to provide in-house AI silicon as hyperscalers compete with Nvidia GPUs for AI workloads, signaling a broader shift toward cloud-native AI acceleration and cost optimization.
