Amazon has quietly built a semiconductor operation generating about $20 billion annually, growing over 100% yearly, focused on custom chips like Graviton CPUs and Trainium AI accelerators for its AWS cloud infrastructure. This internal chip business rivals major semiconductor segments from companies like Broadcom, Intel, and AMD. By designing its own processors, Amazon reduces reliance on external suppliers, cuts costs, and optimizes AI workloads, giving it a unique competitive edge. CEO Andy Jassy hinted at expanding external sales of these chips, potentially positioning Amazon as a direct competitor to Nvidia and AMD, adding a new growth avenue beyond e-commerce and cloud computing.
