ISTANBUL (AA) - US-based global semiconductor manufacturer Intel said it will produce custom artificial intelligence (AI) fabric chip for Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The multi-year and multi-billion-dollar investment includes the development and manufacturing of Intel 18A and custom Xeon 6 Chip on Intel 3 in the state of Ohio, the technology company said in a statement on Monday.

AWS is planning to invest $7.8 billion to expand its data center operations in central Ohio, besides the $10.3 billion it has invested in the state since 2015, it added.

The two companies aim to help customers power virtually any workload and accelerate the performance of AI applications.

"Intel’s chip design and manufacturing capabilities, combined with the comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, AI and machine learning services of AWS, will unleash innovation across our shared ecosystem and support the growth of both businesses, as well as a sustainable domestic AI supply chain," said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.
