News release from the Greater Brazos Partnership: Following the announcement of the potential SpaceX Terafab semiconductor facility in Grimes County, the Greater Brazos Partnership has conducted a strategic economic analysis detailing the transformational benefits the project will bring to the regional economy.
Apple is said to be one of the customers to leverage 14A, while Elon Musk's TeraFab is also going to use it for making their own AI chips. But Lip-Bu is all set to compete with TSMC's 1.4nm with its own 14A 1.4nm tech, at the same time.
Pay $300+ for one component, or switch to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600, which uses the same 2nm node without Qualcomm’s premium markup. We’d expect MediaTek adoption to climb noticeably this year. That’s also why we’re seeing some of the biggest names in tech — including Elon Musk’s $55 billion Terafab project — push to build their own chip factories rather than depend on TSMC pricing.
Ron Baron on CNBC: 1. Starlink will be worth up to $14T 2. SpaceX will be worth $10T – $30T or more 3. $1B IPO order 4. Would NOT bet on SpaceX-Tesla merger 5. Terafab saves big margins, 50X chips needed 6.
The announcement that SpaceX is considering building its Terafab semiconductor facility in Grimes County has generated significant buzz in Aggieland where local government officials gathered Monday to learn more about the proposed $119 billion ...
I’d estimate Capex for Tesla and SpaceX likely is in the area of $40 Bn. in 2026, if not higher. Because TeraFab, xAI now SpaceX AI, and Orbital compute plans doesn’t come cheap. They barely make any money compared to their IPO valuation.
Apple is said to be one of the customers expected to use 14A. Elon Musk’s TeraFab is expected to use it for its own AI chips. Tan reckons Chipzilla will go up against TSMC’s 1.4nm technology at the same time.

The partnership suggests the potential SpaceX Terafab semiconductor facility could be a game-changer for the region. Tom Johnson, CEO and president of the Greater Brazos Partnership, said the project carries a total investment estimate of up to $119 billion. “We think just the operations alone is going to support over 2,000 jobs in the economy.
The development also comes as Tesla pushes plans around its “Terafab Project,” a large-scale semiconductor manufacturing initiative to address AI bottlenecks. Tesla previously warned that AI and memory supply could become a major constraint ...
“Given Tesla’s sizable cash burn this year ($7 billion estimate by BNPP) and indications for massive multi-year investments on the horizon tied to a TeraFab and 100 GW solar capacity, the ‘stakes’ of TSLA’s demonstrated robotaxi and Optimus progress could not be higher,” analysts ...

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.
Musk introduced Terafab at an event in Austin as part of a broader push into orbital AI infrastructure, competing with Jeff Bezos’ Project Sunrise and Google’s Project Suncatcher.
Strategic validation stacks up. Intel Xeon 6 was picked as host CPU for NVIDIA’s DGX Rubin NVL8 systems, Google signed a multiyear deal co-developing custom ASIC IPUs, and Intel joined the Terafab project alongside SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla. Cash sits at $17.25 billion, up 92.77% year over year, with $5 billion from NVIDIA and $2 billion from SoftBank on the balance sheet.
In this video, I will cover the biggest market stories of last week, including ARM (ARM +2.85%) and Shift4 earnings reactions, SpaceX's major investment in Terafab, and Anthropic's massive compute deal at Colosus 1.

Personally, I think Tesla, Prime Capital’s largest position, is a standout conviction holding, given the sizeable weighting and the potentially explosive growth profile to be had as the firm looks to robotics (Optimus), FSD, the rise of the Terafab, and other growth levers the market might still be missing for the seemingly high multiple today.
Earlier this month, Apple and Intel reportedly reached a preliminary agreement that would see Intel make some chips for Apple devices, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in April he plans to rely on Intel's future chips for his $119 billion Terafab ...
