Elon Musk said his business empire will build and operate Terafab independently, quashing speculation about industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. swooping in to run his ambitious chipmaking venture.
Terafab is a planned collaboration involving Tesla, SpaceX and xAI focused on semiconductor manufacturing for artificial intelligence and other applications.
Terafab is a massive, vertically integrated AI chip megafab in Texas, aiming for over one terawatt of compute annually, with initial investment ranging from ~$3 billion research facility to $16.8 billion for full-scale build-out in Grimes County.
The chips are intended for Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots and Cybercab vehicles, as well as SpaceX's planned space-based data centers, highlighting Musk's effort to control more of the hardware needed by his businesses. Musk has previously indicated that Intel's 14A manufacturing process would form the technological backbone of Terafab, giving Intel a major role in producing the facility's advanced chips.
TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei said in April that building a new fab typically takes two to three years, followed by another one to two years to ramp production. He also said advanced foundry competition ultimately depends on technology leadership, manufacturing execution and customer trust. That assessment gives TSMC a potentially powerful role in Terafab without necessarily eliminating Intel.
The TSMC angle surfaced on Friday when Culpium newsletter reported that TSMC was exploring using Terafab as an anchor client for a future Texas semiconductor factory.
First detailed in April, the Terafab initiative involves Intel working with Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX). Intel stated its chip design, manufacturing, and advanced packaging capabilities would enable the project’s goal of producing one terawatt of computing capacity for artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics per year.
