Tesla and SpaceX are already converging around chips, talent and manufacturing under Terafab, even before any merger speculation turns into reality.
But building 10 million walking machines requires a volume of microchips that current fabrication plants simply cannot handle. The ambitious Terafab project aims to produce up to 200 billion chips per year to meet this exact demand. Tesla isn't ...
SpaceX’s ($SPCX) planned Terafab chip project with EV maker Tesla ($TSLA) could be critical to the aerospace company’s...
Each AI1 satellite is designed to support AI chips from a variety of manufacturers, including Nvidia or Tesla’s own 2nm Terafab chips. The computing power of one unit averages 120 kW with the possibility of a peak increase of up to 150 kW, which is comparable to modern server rack equipment.
As launch costs continue to decline and orbital technologies mature, space computing has the potential to become one of the defining infrastructure innovations of the AI era, reshaping how humanity builds, distributes, and scales computing power over the coming decades.

Oppenheimer believes Terafab could give SpaceX greater control over the chips needed for orbital AI computing.
The plan includes deploying large ... AI compute capacity and exploring long-term operations on the Moon and Mars. The acquisition valued SpaceX at $1T and xAI at $250B, for a combined total of $1.25T. It was the highest valued business acquisition in history. In March, SpaceX announced the project to build Terafab, a joint project ...
Amazon’s Trainium and Graviton ... from the previous quarter. SpaceX has a chip-manufacturing initiative called Terafab with a goal of producing one terawatt of compute hardware each year....
At the same time as Apple negotiations ... direct action—converting $9 billion of federal subsidies into a 10% equity stake in Intel, making it its largest shareholder. This move quickly produced a demonstration effect. In September last year, Nvidia announced a $5 billion investment in Intel and purchased custom data center chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it a "historic" partnership. This April, Elon Musk’s SpaceX announced that Intel would join its "Terafab" manufactu
Goldman Sachs ‘ estimates assume ... However, that cost advantage would necessitate a future SpaceX-Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Terafab manufacturing effort producing custom AI chips internally rather than continuing to rely primarily on Nvidia hardware....
Apple's preliminary deal reportedly points certain Mac and iPhone chips, with iPad Pro and entry-level MacBook Air parts expected to use Intel's 18A node. Nvidia invested $5 billion and pledged to co-develop AI infrastructure with Intel. Intel also joined a planned foundry project with SpaceX and Tesla dubbed Terafab. Take those specifics as reported, not settled: the WSJ describes preliminary agreements, and volume, timing and 18A yield are the parts that actually decide whether Intel
GRIMES COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) - SpaceX has officially signed its tax abatement agreement with Grimes County, making the proposed Terafab chip manufacturing facility one step closer to becoming a reality.
Dozens of Grimes County residents packed the Navasota Center Monday evening for a listening session focused on the proposed $55-119 billion Terafab chip manufacturing facility.
The appointment marks the first publicly identified senior leadership hire for Elon Musk's semiconductor production project, Terafab, which demonstrates Tesla's effort to build an experienced semiconductor manufacturing organization from the ...
BERKELEY, California, March 19, 2026 /Business Wire/ – Terabase Energy, a leader in digital and automation solutions for utility-scale solar power, today announced that its next-generation Terafab® automated construction platform has completed field testing and is ready for commercial shipment.
Tesla has hired Gary Jiang, a nearly 18-year Intel manufacturing veteran, as director of its Terafab chip project in Texas, marking the first publicly identified senior leadership appointment tied to Elon Musk's ambitious semiconductor manufacturing ...

Tesla has hired former Intel factory manager Gary Jiang as Director of Terafab, the company's ambitious semiconductor manufacturing project in Austin, Texas.
In moving to Texas, Fab2's model of many small, printable fabs now sits beside the likes of Tesla and SpaceX, which announced Terafab back in March, a single Austin megafab targeting a terawatt of annual compute at a cost of up to $119 billion.
A spokesperson for the Terafab indicated that the project is intended to manufacture semiconductors which will support advanced AI computing, space-based computing systems and orbital data centers, satellite infrastructure and next-generation aerospace technologies.
