Intel Musk: Intel said Tuesday it has entered a partnership with Elon Musk to support the Terafab artificial intelligence chip complex.
The project will also include collaboration with SpaceX and Tesla.
The effort is focused on producing advanced semiconductors designed to power Musk’s growing ambitions in robotics and large-scale data infrastructure.
Intel indicated that these processors will be central to next-generation AI systems linked to the initiative.
Shares of Intel climbed nearly 3 percent following the announcement, reflecting positive market reaction.
The company added that Musk visited its campus over the weekend as talks around the collaboration progressed.
Intel made the announcement several months after Elon Musk revealed plans for Tesla to construct a large artificial intelligence chip fabrication plant.
The facility is expected to support Tesla’s push toward autonomous driving and next-generation AI technologies.
Musk had earlier suggested that Intel could play a role in the project.
In a statement posted on X, Intel emphasized its strength in high-volume semiconductor production.
The company said its integrated approach to chip design, manufacturing, and packaging would help scale the Terafab initiative.
Intel added that the project is targeting the production of up to one terawatt of computing capacity each year to advance AI and robotics development.
Elon Musk said in a statement last month that SpaceX and Tesla are planning to construct two next-generation chip manufacturing plants at a major site in Austin.
The update came after SpaceX was combined with Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, xAI.
Musk indicated that one facility will produce semiconductors for electric vehicles and humanoid robotics systems.
The second plant will focus on chips designed to support artificial intelligence data centers, including infrastructure intended for space-based computing applications.
SpaceX has quietly filed for an initial public offering in the United States, signaling plans for a potential market debut.
The offering could rank among the largest listings ever if it moves forward as expected.
Sources indicate the company is aiming to go public later this year, depending on market conditions.
For Intel, the development comes at a critical time in its effort to regain momentum in the artificial intelligence sector.
The chipmaker has faced stiff competition from rivals as demand for AI-driven technologies has surged.
Analysts say the new partnership could help restore investor confidence as Intel pushes ahead with its recovery strategy.
The company has recently shown signs of financial improvement, driven by stronger demand for its semiconductor products.
Intel has been undergoing a major overhaul under Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan, who has led the company for over a year.
The restructuring plan is focused on strengthening Intel’s financial health and improving operational efficiency.
As part of the strategy, the company has implemented job cuts and divested select assets.
Intel has also attracted substantial investment from Nvidia along with support from the United States government.
Following these moves, the U.S. government has become the company’s largest shareholder.
