Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk revealed new details about the company’s ambitious semiconductor plans, confirming that the Terafab joint venture intends to leverage Intel’s advanced 14A chip manufacturing process. Speaking during Tesla’s post-earnings call, Musk noted that Intel’s 14A technology is still under development but is expected to reach a mature, production-ready stage by the time Terafab begins scaling operations. While no specific timeline was provided, the update highlights Tesla’s growing focus on next-generation chip production for artificial intelligence.
The announcement had an immediate market impact, with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) shares rising approximately 2.5% in after-hours trading. Intel’s 14A process is positioned as a key competitor to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), the global leader in chip fabrication. However, Intel has yet to release detailed specifications about the technology, leaving industry analysts closely watching its progress.
Musk first introduced Terafab earlier this year as a strategic collaboration between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. The venture aims to build a fully integrated semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States, focused on producing high-performance chips tailored for AI applications. This initiative aligns with the broader trend of reshoring semiconductor production and strengthening domestic supply chains.
One of the most ambitious aspects of Terafab is Musk’s target of achieving 1 terawatt per year of compute capacity. This goal significantly exceeds current global chip production levels, including those of TSMC, underscoring the scale of Musk’s long-term vision for AI infrastructure.
Intel confirmed in April that it would participate in the Terafab project by contributing its chipmaking expertise, though the extent of its involvement remains unclear. As demand for AI chips continues to surge, the collaboration between Tesla, Intel, and Musk’s broader ecosystem could reshape the competitive landscape of semiconductor manufacturing.
