Qualcomm Technologies and Meta have reached a multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm Technologies will supply data center CPUs for Meta’s server deployments. The companies described the work as a collaboration on a CPU product roadmap intended to support Meta’s growing compute footprint.
The first CPU called out in the agreement is the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000. Qualcomm Technologies said the first-generation Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU is planned to be in production starting in the second half of 2028, with the platform aimed at Meta’s next-generation server fleet and future data center capacity expansions.
Outside the branding and timing, the technical details are still thin: no core counts, process node, socket, memory interface, or power envelopes were provided. But the basic intent is clear. Meta runs large, scale-out environments where CPU efficiency directly shows up in rack density limits, power provisioning, and the all-in cost of delivering work per watt.
Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm, said, “We designed our data center CPU to deliver leading performance per core and a breakthrough in power efficiency for large scale data center deployments, and this multi-generation agreement with Meta is a significant validation of that approach.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg added, “We’re excited to continue partnering with Qualcomm Technologies as they design the next generation of CPUs for Meta.”
