Elon Musk secures expedited chip equipment for ambitious Texas Terafab project

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Elon Musk announced that ASML and other key semiconductor equipment suppliers are expediting shipments for his ambitious Terafab project. The facility, located in Texas, aims for volume chip production by late 2028, a timeline Musk acknowledges as highly aspirational. This initiative is crucial for Musk's AI companies, which plan to achieve 13 GW of AI compute capacity by the end of 2027, partly through a massive 440,000-GPU Nvidia training cluster. AI
