Terafab Texas will produce chips for Optimus robots, self-driving Cybercabs and space-based data centers. SpaceX announced this week that its planned semiconductor plant that is expected to become the largest building in the world at more than 100 million square feet will be built in Grimes, Texas, outside of Houston. “Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far,” owner Elon Musk wrote X Thursday. “And it will be stunningly beautiful.” The factory is a joint effort with Musk’s electric car company, Tesla. “This facility will house the manufacturing, packaging and testing of advanced logic and memory devices,” SpaceX said in a press release Thursday. “Terafab will produce chips optimized for edge computing and inference for use in hardware like Tesla’s Optimus robots and self-driving Cybercabs, along with high-power chips designed for operating SpaceX’s space-based data centers.” The company said Terafab would employ more than 3,000 people, adding that its initial phase is estimated to cost approximately $16.8 billion. submitted by /u/coinfanking
