SpaceX、テキサス州に550億ドルのチップ工場「Terafab」を計画
SpaceXはテキサス州オースティンに「Terafab」と呼ばれる新しいチップ製造工場に少なくとも550億ドルを投資する計画だ。提出書類によると、費用は1,190億ドルに達する可能性があるという。Intelが設計と建設を支援し、地球上で200GW、宇宙で年間1TWの計算能力を目指す。
SpaceX plans to invest at least $55 billion into a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, named Terafab. Court filings indicate total investment costs could reach $119 billion. Intel will assist in designing and building the plant, which aims to produce chips capable of supporting 200 gigawatts of computing power on Earth and 1 terawatt in space per year. The chips will be used for AI, robotics, and space-based data centers by both SpaceX and Tesla.
