🌐Musk presents TERAFAB, the mega chip factory🌐
The current crisis of RAM memories has caused many manufacturers to expand their network of factories 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 efforts of his three main companies, #Tesla #SpaceX and #xAI
Valued at 20 billion dollars, it will allow supplying chips to its factories and its projects, and aims to eliminate the 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 sometimes it also turns to Intel for this. Musk wants to manufacture two types of chips at TERAFAB, those used in 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 construction and necessary equipment, before starting to manufacture its chips.
