The tech sector received a major disruption as Intel formally announced its participation in Elon Musk's Terafab mega-project. The move marks a historic milestone for Intel Foundry Services and directly challenges TSMC’s global position. The collaboration between these tech giants had been anticipated. Terafab, details of which were recently disclosed by Tesla’s CEO, aims to provide computing power up to 1 Terawatt per year to support robotaxi operations, humanoid robots, and data centers. However, experts note that Tesla, despite enormous financial resources, is still a newcomer in semiconductor manufacturing. They will need a partner with existing IP and plant-operating experience. Intel has officially been selected to join Musk’s ecosystem, partnering with other Musk ventures such as SpaceX and xAI. This strategic decision was proudly confirmed on X, opening a new chapter for both companies. The core goal of Terafab appears to be reducing reliance by American tech firms on overseas foundry partners and building a domestic manufacturing network at a scale far beyond today’s facilities. Intel will assist Tesla in establishing a facility in Austin, Texas, applying its foundry model to accelerate toward mass production. The 18A process is likely to be licensed to manufacture Tesla’s AI6 generation chips. In addition, advanced packaging technologies like EMIB could be deployed in Texas, moving toward a closed-loop manufacturing ecosystem. Although the revenue split has not been disclosed, the agreement clearly lays the groundwork for semiconductor production at an unprecedented scale, signaling a new, intense phase of global competition in the industry.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
