Tesla has announced Terafab, described as the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, in collaboration with SpaceX and xAI. The facility aims to produce 1TW of chips per year to support ambitious projects like solar-powered satellites and millions of Optimus robots. Elon Musk stated it requires thousands of acres and over 10GW of power.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced that the company will work closely with Elon Musk to support the Terafab project. The initiative involves a joint chip development and fabrication effort by SpaceX and Tesla. A photo shows the executives shaking hands last weekend.
