Elon Musk's chipbuilding megaproject has a new partner: Intel.
The US chipmaker said on Tuesday it would join SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla to help build Terafab, an ambitious plan to construct a series of enormous semiconductor fabs to produce chips for robotaxis, humanoid robots, and solar-powered data centers in Space.
"Our ability to design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale will help accelerate Terafab's aim to produce 1 TW/year of compute to power future advances in AI and robotics," Intel wrote in a post on X.
The company posted an image of Musk with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, and said that Musk had visited Intel over the weekend.
