Terafab Expected to Target Memory/DRAM Production to Address Shortages
Posts and analysis highlight Terafab's potential role in alleviating memory chip shortages, with speculation on DRAM production, loss of customers for Micron, and industry supply constraints persisting until Terafab comes online.
Key facts
- Industry memory shortages from 2023-2024 crush expected to last years
- Speculation that Terafab starts with DRAM for onshoring and Chips Act eligibility
- Micron projected to lose Tesla/SpaceX as customers once Terafab operational
When Terafab is built, Micron will lose Tesla and SpaceX as customers.
