Terafab will eventually produce one terawatt of computing capacity a year, compared with about half a terawatt currently generated across the United States, Musk had said in March. Building enough chip capacity to power one terawatt of annual compute would cost between $5 trillion and $13 trillion in capital expenditure, according to Bernstein estimates. Tesla plans to use Intel’s 14A manufacturing process to make chips at the Terafab project.
As SpaceX outlines in their proposal, the new facility – dubbed “Terafab”, -- will be a "multi-phase, next-generation, vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing fabrication facility."
Terafab ще бъде част от стратегията на Мъск за намаляване на зависимостта от външни производители на чипове, включително Samsung и TSMC.
The Terafab project aligns with U.S. efforts under the CHIPS and Science Act to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on overseas suppliers like TSMC and Samsung.
SpaceX, partnering with Tesla, has filed plans to invest $55 billion in a Texas-based semiconductor facility named Terafab, aiming to secure advanced AI chip supplies in-house. The project could expand to $119 billion over multiple phases and aligns ...
Against this backdrop, Intel’s contract manufacturing business is emerging as a key option for NVIDIA to diversify its production capacity. Intel recently secured contract manufacturing orders from TeraFab and Apple, which the market views as critical milestones in rebuilding external client confidence in its foundry operations, laying the groundwork to attract major clients like NVIDIA.
Against this background, Intel’s foundry business is becoming an important option for NVIDIA to seek diversified capacity. Intel has recently secured foundry orders from TeraFab and Apple, which the market sees as key milestones in restoring external customer confidence in its foundry business, and has also laid a foundation for attracting major clients like NVIDIA.

As AI chip production demand surges, ... many big tech companies are turning to other foundries like Samsung Electronics and Intel. Recently, Intel joined Tesla’s AI chip production project “TeraFab,” and Samsung Electronics also agreed to produce products for Tesla ...
Among recent announcements, the Terafab semiconductor project in Texas stands out here. By investing tens of billions of US dollars in in-house and partnered chip capacity with Intel, Tesla is tying its AI, robotaxi, Optimus, and data center ambitions directly to secure compute supply.
Nvidia invested $5 billion in Intel in September and is collaborating with the company on custom CPUs for data center systems. Intel is also reportedly working with Elon Musk on a planned manufacturing facility in Texas tied to the Terafab project, which is expected to produce chips for Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX.
SpaceX announced plans to build a US$55bn semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing fabrication facility, known as the Terafab, in Grimes County, Texas, in partnership with Tesla.
Elon Musk's SpaceX is proposing to spend $55 billion to begin construction of a new semiconductor production facility in Texas, taking steps toward realizing an ambitious project he's dubbed Terafab.
NVIDIA has been searching for another foundry where it could produce additional GPUs, and it looks like they have found one partner in the form of Intel. With Intel's Foundry business securing recent TeraFab and Apple deals, it looks like these will act as a major confidence booster for external customers such as NVIDIA to use Intel's Fabs to secure extra production of their latest and greatest chips.
Tesla recently reported a sharp rebound in China-made Model 3 and Model Y sales in April, alongside securing its largest-ever Tesla Semi truck order and unveiling a multibillion‑dollar Terafab chip manufacturing initiative with SpaceX and xAI. Together, these developments highlight how Tesla is tying core EV demand, AI chip capacity and commercial trucking into a broader physical‑AI platform spanning vehicles, energy and robotics.
This bet is no small matter: it is Terafab, a cutting-edge chip manufacturing plant that promises to integrate the entire production chain into a single complex, with a focus on the next revolution in AI and robotics.
By producing his own semiconductors, Musk not only reduces long-term costs but also gains total control over chip architecture, optimizing them specifically for his own AI algorithms. Loading video... ... One of the project’s most notable highlights is the collaboration with Intel. The processor giant will join Terafab for the design, manufacturing, and assembly of ultra-high-performance chips.
Terafab is a planned semiconductor fabrication facility jointly developed by Tesla, SpaceX, and Intel, announced by Musk on March 21, 2026.
