Musk pitches pie-in-the-sky Terafab 2 nm foundry for SpaceX and Tesla AI chip fare - NotebookCheck.net News
Given that Tesla currently relies on TSMC and Samsung for its chip supply, while the Terafab is targeting 2 nm process technology, the most advanced production node, there is plenty of hubris in Musk's announcement.
Elon Musk unveils $20 billion ‘TeraFab’ chip project to make chips, memory, and package processors all under one roof — targets a terawatt of annual compute | Tom's Hardware
The joint Tesla-SpaceX fab will make both terrestrial inference chips and space-hardened processors.
Tesla and SpaceX announce $25B 'Terafab' chip factory — here's why it reeks of desperation | Electrek
The most eyebrow-raising part of the presentation was the space computing vision. Musk said 80% of Terafab’s compute output would be directed toward space-based orbital AI satellites, with only 20% for ground-based applications. He argued that solar irradiance in space is roughly 5x greater than at Earth’s surface, and that heat rejection in vacuum makes thermal scaling viable.
Everything Announced at Tesla's Terafab Event
There are increased economies of scale in space, while on Earth, you get challenges with real physical locations. It is likely only a few years before it's cheaper to send chips up to space, rather than build a facility on the ground. After the Terafab, the obvious next question is achieving a petawatt of compute.
