Intel has announced that it will partner with AWS to manufacture AI technology for the cloud service provider. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said this was an expansion of the relationship the pair have had for a long time. The Intel CEO also said that moves are being made to establish Intel Foundry as an independent subsidiary.

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 US and boosting his efforts to turn around the embattled chipmaker.

Intel is making two new AI-capable chips for Amazon's cloud computing unit, including one based on Intel's Xeon 6.
