Musk's SpaceX, its xAI unit and Tesla will build two advanced chip factories at a sprawling facility in Austin, one to be used in Tesla vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, and another designed for AI data centers in space.
The Terafab chip factories will be built at a facility in Austin, Texas, including Tesla's Giga Texas campus.
... Musk's SpaceX, its xAI unit and Tesla will build two advanced chip factories at a sprawling facility in Austin, one to be used in Tesla vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, and another designed for AI data centers in space.
What's more, Musk plans for the Terafab to produce 2nm chips (the most advanced logic chips) at scale right out of the gate. Building the capabilities to produce the world's most advanced chips from scratch is a massive undertaking that will require significant engineering expertise and substantial capital expenditures. TSMC has spent years optimizing its 2nm process ...
Pilot-scale fab at Giga Texas to test chip technologies as Terafab initiative advances with SpaceX and Intel involvement
TSMC’s CoWoS lags at 60% wafer utilization; Intel’s EMIB and Foveros hit 90%, enabling massive 120mm x 120mm packages with multiple HBM stacks. X user @shanaka86 highlighted this as Terafab’s real unlock, solving AI’s supply crunch for Musk’s stack—from Optimus to orbital data centers.
SpaceX’s potential move into ... the ambitious Terafab project, a planned chip manufacturing hub in Texas that aims to produce large volumes of advanced chips for AI training and inference....
Musk framed the choice as a natural fit given the project’s timeline, saying: “Given that by the time Terafab scales up, 14A will be probably fairly mature or ready for prime time, 14A seems like the right move, and we have a great relationship with Intel.” · Intel’s 14A node promises improved performance per watt compared to its 18A process, enabled by High-NA EUV lithography and other advanced manufacturing techniques, with Intel targeting risk production around 2028 and volume ramp in 2029 ro
Elon Musk has apparently revealed ... as early as 2029, TeraFab will use Intel's 14A (1.4nm) semiconductor chip manufacturing technology to produce future AI processing chips for Tesla, SpaceX and xAI....
Analysts note improving yields and strong demand signals for Panther Lake processors and custom ASICs. Intel's foundry ambitions gained credibility with these deals. The Terafab partnership alone could represent billions in long-term revenue, ...
US semiconductor group has been seeking a big customer for its ‘14A’ manufacturing system
For Intel, licensing its process technology to Terafab could provide both cash flow and a showcase for competing with TSMC in advanced nodes.
For those that need the refresher, the Terafab project is an advanced AI chip manufacturing complex planned to be built in Austin, Texas. The massive project currently intends to handle chip fabrication, packaging, and testing.
Tesla and SpaceX would use the Intel technology in a semiconductor plant meant to support their AI work, Musk said. He added that the Terafab would help address a shortage of advanced chips as demand for AI infrastructure keeps climbing.
The ambition follows work by SpaceX, its xAI unit and Tesla to jointly develop the Terafab, an advanced AI chip manufacturing complex that chief executive officer Elon Musk is planning in Austin, Texas.
The effort is linked to joint work with **Tesla** and **xAI** on the Terafab complex in Austin, Texas, and comments from **Elon Musk** referenced Intel's `14A` node. The announcement signals deep vertical integration but leaves timelines, process ...
Tesla’s (TSLA) first-quarter 2026 earnings report, released after the close on April 22, delivered a beat on both revenue and earnings per share, but the most consequential revelation for the broader market may have been Elon Musk’s confirmation that Tesla and SpaceX will use Intel’s (INTC) next-generation 14A chip manufacturing process for the ambitious Terafab semiconductor complex in Austin, Texas. This announcement sent Intel shares up over 2% in Thursday morning trading.

These machines use extreme ultraviolet light to print atomic-scale patterns onto silicon wafers. A single unit costs upwards of $200 million, and a modern, high-volume fab requires between 15 and 20 of them just to operate.
Tesla just picked Intel to make its advanced AI chips at the upcoming Terafab facility in Austin, Texas. Announced by Elon Musk, this move makes Tesla the first big customer for Intel's new 14A chip tech, a major step for both companies.
