Intel officially announced yesterday that it has joined Elon Musk's Terafab AI chip project, forming a strategic partnership with SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI to advance this currently leading global chip manufacturing initiative. Tesla later confirmed the news through the X platform, defining Terafab as an integrated semiconductor manufacturing project combining logic chips, storage, and advanced packaging.

According to the cooperation plan, the core goal of Terafab is to achieve an annual output of 1 terawatt (TW) of computing power, aiming to provide foundational computing power support for the next generation of AI models and robot technologies. The project was first disclosed by Musk in March 2026, with its location set in Austin, Texas. According to the design concept, two advanced factories will be built within the campus: one focused on meeting the computing power needs of Tesla electric vehicles and humanoid robots, and the other dedicated to building AI data centers designed specifically for space environments.
