The project, called TeraFab, would be built at the Gibbons Creek Reservoir, about 20 miles east of Bryan-College Station.
Tesla is mentioned as a co-developer of “Terafab” and “Macrohard”: The estimated cost of a “Terafab”, or a semiconductor fab with 1 terawatt of annual compute capacity, would cost around $80 billion in the US.
Fouquet said a plan like Musk's TeraFab, a large-scale chip plant intended to supply Tesla, xAI and SpaceX, would stretch toolmakers' capacity over the coming years and it may materialize.
The Apple chip deal, announced recently, adds a major new customer relationship that had not previously been part of Intel’s commercial story. The Terafab agreement with Elon Musk’s AI venture and the ongoing 18A and 14A process node ramp at Intel Foundry add further near-term catalysts to the stock’s setup heading into the second half of 2026.

Neutral Sentiment: Intel continues to be featured in bullish AI and infrastructure narratives, including reports tied to Apple, Tesla’s Terafab project, and Intel’s role in AI compute builds, which support the long-term thesis but do not offset near-term caution.
Terafab addresses this challenge by automating solar construction with integrated quality control, safety, compressing timelines and accelerating the path from groundbreaking to grid connection.
On March 21, 2026, at the old Seaholm Power Plant in Austin, Elon Musk unveiled Terafab, a project to build 1 terawatt of AI compute capacity annually. Six weeks later, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC | INTC Price Prediction) signed on as foundational ...
He’s also already completed the Tesla Gigafactory, located at 1 Tesla Road in Travis County, a stone’s throw away from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to the west and the Austin Executive Airport to the north. Additionally, a Terafab semiconductor fabrication plant could be coming to Grimes County, just outside of Aggieland, according to the outlet.
The project is called TeraFab, a SpaceX manufacturing facility that would produce advanced chips designed to boost AI capacity, including powering data centers in space.
Elon Musk’s bid to build what he calls the world’s largest computer chip manufacturing facility in Grimes County, southeast of College Station, is drawing opposition from some residents, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Musk is seeking tax breaks to build the facility, dubbed Terafab.

Tesla and SpaceX are also working on a multibillion-dollar joint project called the Terafab, a chip-manufacturing venture, highlighting how Musk’s companies are becoming increasingly interconnected around AI and compute infrastructure.
Elon Musk introduced Terafab, a project aiming to produce 1 terawatt of AI computing power annually, marking a shift toward orbital AI infrastructure. Intel joined as a key manufacturing partner, boosting its stock significantly.
I think that the whole purpose of this, regardless of talking about overall industry capacity, regardless of saying, hey, there might be an opportunity for us to make a contribution to the industry writ large, really, I think the Terafab vision is about helping SpaceX, helping xAI, helping Tesla to do what they need to do to build optimist robots, to make massive launches of goods and services into orbit to further Mars missions, solar power capacity for space based data centers.
SpaceX is also collaborating with Tesla on a proposed "Terafab" to produce specialist chips for space-based data centers and humanoid robots.
