Intel is joining Terafab, Elon Musk’s chipmaking project.
“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 said in a LinkedIn post.
Terafab aims to dramatically expand the availability of compute power needed to train and run advanced AI systems. Intel did not specify how production would be distributed among partners or where facilities would be located.
The announcement comes as demand for AI infrastructure continues to surge, straining global semiconductor supply chains and driving investment into new fabrication technologies. Efforts like Terafab signal a push by major technology players to vertically integrate compute production and secure capacity for future AI and robotics workloads.
