Terafab Chip Manufacturing Initiative

planned

Terafab is a large-scale chip manufacturing initiative involving Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI to develop advanced chips for vehicles, humanoid robots, and AI systems. The project includes building two advanced chip factories at a large facility in Austin, Texas, using Intel's 14A manufacturing process. The initial phase involves a $3 billion research fabrication facility at Tesla's Giga Texas campus to produce a few thousand wafers per month, aiming to test and refine ideas. The long-term goal is to produce one terawatt of computing capacity annually, requiring significant capital expenditure.
