🌐Musk presents TERAFAB, the mega chip factory🌐

The current RAM memory crisis has led many manufacturers to expand their factory network to offer a greater supply of memories, and there are increasingly more semiconductor plants to supply different industries.

Now Elon Musk wants to join with his #TERAFAB A plant that would be located on the Tesla campus, which is in the state of Texas, and which will be the result of the effort of his three main companies, #Tesla #SpaceX and #xAI

Valued at 20 billion dollars, it will allow supplying chips to its factories and projects, and aims to eliminate dependence on external suppliers to offer semiconductors, which usually require a large computing capacity for tasks.

Currently, it manufactures its chips at TSMC and Samsung, although it sometimes also turns to Intel for this. Musk wants to manufacture two types of chips at TERAFAB, those that go in the Tesla vehicles dedicated to inference that also serve for the Optimus robots, and for space applications with SpaceX.

But it seems that its construction will not be a matter of the near future. The necessary material is usually ordered years in advance, in addition to a high budget where the 20 billion only includes the construction and necessary equipment, before starting to manufacture its chips.
