Oct 7 (Reuters) – Intel Corp will continue to work with Elon Musk on his Terafab project, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.
Here’s what to know:
• Intel will remain involved in the project, CEO Lip-Bu Tan told Bloomberg ahead of an event in Tokyo marking the US chipmaker’s 50th year of operations in Japan.
• Intel and Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
• Last week, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on X that there were discussions over potential cooperation between Taiwan chip major TSMC and his chipmaking project, Terafab.
• Responding on X to a screenshot of an article headlined “TSMC Exploring Plans to Work With Elon Musk’s TeraFab,” Musk wrote on Saturday: “Just discussions, but something may come of it”.
• A potential involvement by TSMC could likely challenge Intel’s role in Terafab, as Musk weighs partners for the chipmaking venture.
