## Key points

- Intel announced plans to join Tesla's TeraFab project for semiconductor manufacturing.
- Intel's 18A process node could be used directly in Tesla's TeraFab production lines.
- The TeraFab facility aims to deliver 1 terawatt of compute capacity per year.
- Tesla lacks semiconductor node IP, prompting the joint venture with Intel Foundry.

Intel Foundry might have witnessed its latest breakthrough, as Intel announced plans to join Tesla's TeraFab project, aiming to deliver 1 TW of compute capacity per year. Intel's Joining of Tesla's TeraFab Venture Could Bring 18A Directly To the Upcoming Production Lines This is a surprising development, but one that we have been expecting for quite some time now. Tesla's TeraFab project was detailed extensively by Musk a few days ago, with the highlight being the production scale of the facility revealed by Tesla's CEO. However, given that Tesla doesn't own a node IP or semiconductor industry experience, we anticipated a joint venture with existing foundries, and it seems Intel has been chosen here. The news of Intel collaborating with Tesla's TeraFab project was shared by the company's official page at X. This is a developing story...

**Companies:** Intel, Tesla
**Countries:** United States
