Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is doubling-down on a partnership with Tesla and SpaceX, which was revealed Wednesday during Tesla's quarterly earnings.

"Over the last six decades, we have always been willing to take measured risks that have eventually paved the way for step-function improvement in transistor density, cost, power, and performance. As we look to continue challenging the status quo, I can think of no better partner than Elon Musk," said Tan during the open remarks of Intel's quarterly earnings.
