Here’s Why HSBC Doubled The PT on Intel (INTC)

​In terms of foundry, HSBC called Intel's foundry business too good to ignore. The firm believes that it positions the company as a credible TSMC alternative given fabrication and packaging constraints elsewhere. HSBC highlighted that Intel has already signed Terafab and Apple as customers and is in talks with Google and Nvidia.

Starmind: Elon Musk’s Vision to Build AI Data Centers in Orbit

These satellites are explicitly designed to be modular and AI-chip agnostic, meaning they can integrate processors from various vendors. SpaceX also plans to produce its own advanced AI chips at scale through a joint fabrication effort with Tesla (internally referenced in connection with projects like TERAFAB).

SpaceX Joins Nasdaq 100 Then Tumbles 7%; Legendary Investor Warns of 90% Crash Probability — BigGo Finance

A UBS research report released on July 7 shows that the wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) procurement scale for SpaceX's Terafab project over the next five years is estimated at approximately $135 billion, equivalent to the total global WFE market this year. At the Terafab project launch event in March 2026, Musk clearly stated that the combined AI computing power output of all current global wafer fabs is only about 2% of SpaceX's target demand.
