Amazon and chip design tool maker Synopsys are entering a multi-year deal, said to be worth over a billion dollars, in which the two companies will deepen their cooperation on AI chip design, while better optimizing their tools for one another’s services. As part of the deal, Amazon will license Synopsys’ IP and expand its use of Synopsys’ electronic design automation (EDA) software tools for AI chip design and agentic AI technologies.
The deal goes both ways.
