“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,” says Tan, adding “Terafab represents a step change in how silicon logic, memory and packaging will get built in the future.” · The deal complements Elon Musk’s foundry deal with Samsung for $16.5 billion worth of output from Samsung’s Taylor fab.
Intel has officially partnered with Elon Musk to design and build the Terafab facility in Austin, Texas. This project, valued at $25 billion, aims to centralize chip manufacturing for SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla.
Morgan Stanley's semiconductor analysts described the effort as "a Herculean task" and estimated total capital expenditure at $35 to $45 billion for the pilot alone, including $20 to $25 billion for wafer fabrication equipment.
Per Teslarati, Terafab is targeting 1 terawatt of annual compute capacity, a number that far exceeds current global output. This is where Intel’s role becomes crucial. Intel brings deep expertise in advanced manufacturing, process technology and high-volume chip production.

According to Musk, 80% of Terafab’s compute output will be directed toward space-based applications — including orbital AI data centers powered by solar energy — with only 20% deployed on Earth.
The Terafab project in Austin is currently underway, with plans to begin production in the next 2-3 years. A multinational semiconductor chip manufacturer and technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
A project as large as Terafab doesn’t guarantee Intel Foundry’s success by itself, but it provides what it needs to change the narrative: huge potential demand, global media exposure, and a sign that Intel can still engage in major advanced silicon projects in the U.S. This perspective is reinforced by Tesla’s context. The company isn’t starting from scratch in semiconductors. Reuters reported in July 2025 that Tesla signed a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung for chips, and that the Taylor, Texas
