TERAFAB

Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI are launching the most epic chip-building effort ever — combining logic, memory and advanced packaging under one roof.

Terafab will close the gap between today's chip production and the future's demand — a future among the stars.
We aspire to be a galactic civilization.
THE KARDASHEV
SCALE
TYPE I
Harness all the energy
on a planet.
TYPE II
