SAN FRANCISCO: Intel Corp chief executive officer Pat Gelsinger has landed Amazon.com Inc’s AWS as a customer for the company’s manufacturing business, potentially bringing work to new plants under construction in the United States and boosting his efforts to turn around the embattled chipmaker.

Intel and AWS will co-invest in a custom semiconductor for artificial intelligence (AI) computing – what’s known as a fabric chip – in a “multi-year, multi-billion-dollar framework,” according to a statement on Monday.
