By Sheila Dang and Akash SriramSpaceX won approval for a reinvestment zone in Texas on Wednesday despite fierce opposition from residents, clearing a key hurdle for a proposed $119 billion Terafab semiconductor manufacturing complex.The project ...
(NASDAQ: SMCI) bounced 5.64% to $43.99 after falling more than 11% on Friday. The recovery tracked comments from Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, who reiterated that the semiconductor supply crunch is likely to persist for several years as AI infrastructure build-out demand continues to run ahead of capacity.
The Texas plant will be run by SpaceX and Tesla and make chips for both companies, which Musk has said will be used for AI, robotics, and space-based data centers. Last month, Intel announced that it would help design and build Terafab, saying, “Our ability to design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale will help accelerate Terafab’s aim to produce 1 TW/year of compute to power future advances 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.
Last month, the company formally ... chip design, production and advanced packaging for high-performance semiconductors. The agreement marks the first major customer win for Intel’s 14A process node.
Terafab is a planned semiconductor fabrication facility jointly developed by Tesla, SpaceX, and Intel, announced by Musk on March 21, 2026.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in April that Tesla plans to use Intel’s 14A manufacturing process to make chips for its Terafab project, an advanced AI chip facility planned for Austin.
On June 3, the Commissioners Court of Grimes County, Texas, will convene in a public session that will consider the approval of a property tax abatement agreement for the Terafab. ... AI chip demand continues to grow at a rapid pace. Many AI chip suppliers are fabless semiconductor companies. In other words, AI chip suppliers use foundry vendors to manufacture their chips. The problem? There is a shortage of foundry capacity at leading-edge process nodes. There is also a shortfall of select adva
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives also sees a merger happening next year, as Tesla already owns a stake in SpaceX and the two companies jointly own a terafab facility.
Together, they are building Terafab, a $55 billion semiconductor fabrication facility in Texas with Intel as the manufacturing partner. The project could scale to $119 billion and aims to produce one terawatt of AI compute per year.
The TERAFAB initiative outlines an ambitious future where massive amounts of compute are shifted directly into orbit. These space-based datacenters, deployed alongside the ever-expanding Starlink satellite constellation, possess an absolute ...
As part of this, SpaceX has proposed a new semiconductors fabricating facility dubbed Terafab in Grimes County, Texas, at a cost of $55-119 billion. The goal is to manufacture 1 terawatt of internal computing capacity per year.
Many observers have already made the fundamental valuation for this IPO as being under $780 billion or less, leaving over a trillion dollars of aspirational valuation for SpaceX/xAI around AI Space Data Centers, his Terafab chip factories that rival Taiwan Semiconductor, TSMC, and its Starlink broadband satellite network that provides over 50% of the revenues to its SpaceX rocket launching business.
The addition of Terafab, a chip manufacturing initiative with Tesla and Intel, aims to further extend our vertical integration to chip design and manufacturing to alleviate potential future chip shortages at SpaceX, optimize compute performance, ...
This statement was amplified by the announcement of Musk's virtual participation in ASML's technology conference to discuss the Terafab project, a large-scale semiconductor fabrication facility planned by SpaceX and Tesla, which will rely exclusively on ASML's critical Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology.
Lam Research’s technology allows for the precise etching of the through-silicon vias (TSVs) necessary for this packaging. The company’s products could meet the Terafab requirement for dense, high-performance architectures that traditional automotive chips do not require.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in April that the electric vehicle maker plans to use Intel's next-generation 14A manufacturing process for chips at its Terafab advanced AI chip complex in Austin [2]. SK Hynix, the leading maker of high-bandwidth memory, is separately testing whether its HBM products work reliably with Intel's packaging technology — a secondary validation that strengthens Intel's credibility as a full-service foundry [3].
Elon Musk is considering a Grimes ... in March, the Houston Chronicle reported. Terafab aims to bring together the major stages of semiconductor production in one place, including chip fabrication, memory, advanced packaging, and related manufacturing processes needed to produce ...
Lam Research’s technology facilitates the precise etching of through-silicon vias (TSVs) needed for this packaging. The products from the company could fulfill Terafab's requirements for compact, high-performance designs that typical automotive chips do not need.
Elon Musk appears to have identified a site for his massive Terafab chipmaking facility – and it’s right outside of Aggieland. The Grimes County Commissioners Court posted a public notice that states it will consider Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. on June 3 for a potential tax abatement.
