Intel confirms continued partnership with Musk's Terafab
Intel will remain involved with Elon Musk's Terafab chip manufacturing venture, even as Musk discusses a possible sublease for TSMC to gain some production capacity at the planned Texas fab. Musk and Intel both stated that Terafab will keep full ownership and control, with TSMC as a possible tenant rather than a partner. Terafab will use Intel's upcoming 14A process to make chips, aiming for a facility that handles all manufacturing steps in one site.
- Intel 14A node to be used by Terafab
- TSMC not acquiring or running Terafab
- TSMC may sublease fab capacity only
- Plant will integrate all manufacturing stages
- First chips expected in a few years
