Terafab Semiconductor Gigafab Mega-Plant

planned

A proposed semiconductor manufacturing gigafab in Texas, initially estimated at $55 billion with potential expansion up to $119 billion. The project aims to produce advanced chips and support massive AI computing loads, targeting a compute output of one terawatt per year. The site is near the Gibbons Creek Reservoir, about 81 miles northwest of Houston, leveraging existing power and cooling infrastructure. The project involves SpaceX and possibly Tesla, with industrial partners like Intel and major semiconductor equipment suppliers.
