Elon Musk has apparently revealed ... as early as 2029, TeraFab will use Intel's 14A (1.4nm) semiconductor chip manufacturing technology to produce future AI processing chips for Tesla, SpaceX and xAI....
Analysts note improving yields and strong demand signals for Panther Lake processors and custom ASICs. Intel's foundry ambitions gained credibility with these deals. The Terafab partnership alone could represent billions in long-term revenue, ...
US semiconductor group has been seeking a big customer for its ‘14A’ manufacturing system
For Intel, licensing its process technology to Terafab could provide both cash flow and a showcase for competing with TSMC in advanced nodes.
For those that need the refresher, the Terafab project is an advanced AI chip manufacturing complex planned to be built in Austin, Texas. The massive project currently intends to handle chip fabrication, packaging, and testing.
Tesla and SpaceX would use the Intel technology in a semiconductor plant meant to support their AI work, Musk said. He added that the Terafab would help address a shortage of advanced chips as demand for AI infrastructure keeps climbing.
The ambition follows work by SpaceX, its xAI unit and Tesla to jointly develop the Terafab, an advanced AI chip manufacturing complex that chief executive officer Elon Musk is planning in Austin, Texas.
The effort is linked to joint work with **Tesla** and **xAI** on the Terafab complex in Austin, Texas, and comments from **Elon Musk** referenced Intel's `14A` node. The announcement signals deep vertical integration but leaves timelines, process ...
Tesla’s (TSLA) first-quarter 2026 earnings report, released after the close on April 22, delivered a beat on both revenue and earnings per share, but the most consequential revelation for the broader market may have been Elon Musk’s confirmation that Tesla and SpaceX will use Intel’s (INTC) next-generation 14A chip manufacturing process for the ambitious Terafab semiconductor complex in Austin, Texas. This announcement sent Intel shares up over 2% in Thursday morning trading.

These machines use extreme ultraviolet light to print atomic-scale patterns onto silicon wafers. A single unit costs upwards of $200 million, and a modern, high-volume fab requires between 15 and 20 of them just to operate.
Tesla just picked Intel to make its advanced AI chips at the upcoming Terafab facility in Austin, Texas. Announced by Elon Musk, this move makes Tesla the first big customer for Intel's new 14A chip tech, a major step for both companies.
The name comes from its headline ... existing global fabs produce today combined. It will target 2nm process technology and an initial capacity of 100,000 wafer starts per month....
Design happens at fabless customers, memory is made at separate fabs (Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix), and advanced packaging and test are typically done at OSAT facilities or dedicated packaging sites. Terafab's claim is that design, lithography, fabrication, memory production, advanced packaging, and testing all happen at a single site.
First announced in March 2026 and located in Austin, Texas, the Terafab project is positioned as the world's largest 2nm-class advanced chip factory. It aims to produce 100 billion to 200 billion chips annually, with an ultimate goal of 1 terawatt ...
Terafab is Musk's (one might say) bold venture into making his own chips for xAI, Tesla, and SpaceX to power cars, robots, and data centres in space. It's apparently necessary, given the world seemingly doesn't produce enough chips for these ...

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) shares moved higher in premarket trading on Thursday after Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk indicated that the Terafab venture plans to adopt Intel’s advanced 14A semiconductor manufacturing process. Speaking during Tesla’s post-earnings call, Musk said the 14A node is “not yet totally complete,” but should be “probably fairly mature or ready for prime time” by the time Terafab reaches scale.
One will focus on chips for vehicles and humanoid robots, and the other will produce processors for space-based data centres. Specifics regarding the responsibilities for funding, operation, and commissioning of the Terafab complex have not yet been detailed.
Terafab is an advanced AI chip manufacturing complex being developed by SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla in Austin, Texas, targeting GPUs and other AI processors.
