Intel will join the Terafab chip manufacturing project in Texas, USA, alongside SpaceX and Tesla, according to a statement from Intel. The companies did not disclose the specific scope of Intel’s contribution.
In a post on X, Intel said its capabilities in designing, manufacturing and packaging high-performance chips at scale will support Terafab’s goal of producing one terawatt of computing power per year for AI and robotics.
Terafab follows earlier announcements by Elon Musk about collaboration between SpaceX and Tesla to develop chips for AI computation, satellites, space data centers and autonomous vehicles.
Intel’s participation also comes as building a chip fab is described as one of the most complex and costly industrial projects, often taking many years to implement. Costs can exceed $20 billion, including the construction of cleanrooms equipped with thousands of ultra-precise devices.
Intel’s involvement is expected to help clarify the project’s direction, given that SpaceX and Tesla have no experience in chip manufacturing. Intel is also seeking major customers to expand its contract chip manufacturing business.
Intel shares rose more than 3% after the news, trading at $52.28 in the afternoon in the US.
Intel has faced increased competition in advanced chips from Nvidia and AMD. Those rivals have largely adopted a fabless model, designing chips while outsourcing manufacturing.
Intel declined to comment further on the cooperation, while SpaceX did not respond to press requests.

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…
