US EditionIntel Lands Tesla as First Major Customer for 14A Chip Technology
Tesla said the deal would give Intel its first major 14A customer and help fund a chip complex aimed at cars, robots and data centers.
- On Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans to use Intel's advanced 14A manufacturing process for chips at the Terafab project, marking Intel's first major external customer for the technology.
- Earlier this month, Intel joined the Terafab AI chip complex alongside Musk-controlled SpaceX and Tesla to build processors fueling robotics and data center ambitions.
- Intel's manufacturing technology aims to compete with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies said the technology could "turn out to be a bigger deal for Intel than folks thought."
- Shares of Intel climbed roughly 3.14% following the announcement, while Tesla reported first-quarter revenue of $22.71 billion, up 16% year-over-year.
- Tesla raised its 2026 capital-spending plan to more than $25 billion from $20 billion on Wednesday, though many details of the Terafab project including funding and operational roles remain unknown.
