Intel shares rose 5% Tuesday morning after the chipmaker announced it joined the Terafab project alongside SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla for chip production.
The stock gained following news that Intel hosted Elon Musk over the weekend and confirmed its participation in the collaborative initiative.
Intel stated on X that the company will contribute its capabilities in designing, fabricating, and packaging ultra-high-performance chips at scale to support Terafab’s goal of producing 1 terawatt per year of compute power for AI and robotics applications.
The Terafab project brings together Intel with Musk’s companies SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla to refactor silicon fabrication technology. Intel’s involvement centers on leveraging its manufacturing expertise to help accelerate the project’s production targets.
The collaboration represents a partnership between one of the world’s established semiconductor manufacturers and companies focused on electric vehicles, space exploration, and artificial intelligence development.
