Snowflake has signed a $6 billion, five-year agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use AWS's homegrown Graviton CPUs and AI accelerators (TechCrunch, The Register). The deal, announced on May 27, 2026, represents a major endorsement of AWS's custom silicon strategy, as Snowflake moves to support AI inference and agent workloads. AWS CEO Andy Jassy has touted better price-performance from AWS chips versus Nvidia's offerings, and this commitment signals growing enterprise adoption. The move could intensify competition with Nvidia's Vera CPU and other custom chip efforts from hyperscalers.
AMZN has already moved up +29% over the recent 30-90 day window.
