SpaceX to build $16.8 billion chip plant in Texas, create over 3,000 jobs

Aerospace major SpaceX and electric vehicle maker Tesla are investing USD 16.8 billion to build 'Terafab', an advanced AI semiconductor complex in Texas, designed to narrow a looming gap in global chip supply, according to official statements. The first phase of the vertically integrated, 100-million-square-foot facility in Grimes County, Texas, will create at least 3,000 high-paying jobs for engineers, technicians, and plant operators, with future expansion phases expected to push total investment significantly higher, SpaceX said in a statement on its website on Thursday. "The Terafab is bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to America, creating thousands of high-paying jobs in the Lone Star State, and enabling us to produce AI chips at scale for use on Earth and in space," SpaceX Founder and CEO Elon Musk said in the statement. The mega facility aims to meet an anticipated requirement of over one terawatt of computing power for Musk's ventures. The plant will make, package, and tes

AMD sees compute market zooming to $2 trn by 2030, launches new products

Growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) across all spheres is set to take the overall market for compute infrastructure to USD 2 trillion by 2030 from USD 365 billion in 2025, global semiconductor major AMD said on Thursday. Eyeing the 40 per cent compounded annual growth in the market that it expects, the company unveiled a slew of products, including advanced microprocessors at its annual Advancing AI Summit here. Lisa Su, the Chairman and Chief Executive of the company that has been competing with bigger rival Nvidia, said AI had moved beyond chatbots to reasoning models and was now entering the era of agentic AI, where AI systems autonomously execute multi-step tasks, dramatically increasing demand for computing power. "AI is the most important technology of the last 50 years, and frankly, the progress that we're seeing in the industry is just incredible. Every few months, we see something new that was far beyond our imagination," Su said, adding that the industry was still
