North campus precursor. Intel joined on design, fabric, and package.
A research fab on the north campus of Giga Texas broke ground in April 2026 as the precursor to Terafab. Intel joined on design, fabric, and package. The Grimes County campus is the volume bet. Giga Texas is where the process gets proven first.
Tesla has been a chip buyer. This is Tesla as a chip maker, with SpaceX on the same sheet. The research fab is small next to a 100-million-square-foot plan. It is still a fab.
Plants in this file usually make robots or houses. Terafab makes the silicon those robots think on. Giga Texas is the first pour.
