Intel Partners with Tesla and SpaceX on Terafab

The goal is to produce ~1 TW/year of AI compute capacity -- enough to power billions of Optimus robots, FSD/robotaxi systems, Grok-level training, and space-hardened chips (e.g., D3 for orbital AI) -- far beyond what current foundries like TSMC or Samsung can supply at the needed scale and speed

Intel's Role is to Help Remake Silicon Fab Technology

Intel's will help refactor silicon fab technology by bringing its expertise in chip design, fabrication, and packaging at ultra-high scale. This directly supports Terafab's production targets and modernization of the overall process.

Intel hosted Elon Musk at its facilities last weekend, signaling active, high-level engagement (a handshake photo from the meeting was shared in related posts).
