With a social media post out of the blue, Intel has confirmed it has joined forces with Elon Musk's Terafab project, using its foundries and packaging facilities to "help refactor silicon fab technology". The exact details and nature of the agreement aren't yet clear, but Intel is unlikely to get as big a foundry order as this from any other partnership.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan retweeted the X post within a matter of minutes, adding, "Elon has a proven track record of reimagining entire industries. This is exactly what is needed in semiconductor manufacturing today. Terafab represents a step change in how silicon logic, memory and packaging will get built in the future. Intel is proud to be a partner and work closely with Elon on this highly strategic project."
