Intel to Make Unnamed Chip for Tesla on Its 14A Process

Intel has confirmed that Tesla will be a foundry customer for its 14A manufacturing process, but neither company has revealed which chip it will produce. The deal appears to be separate from the Terafab project that Tesla and SpaceX are developing with Intel. Intel also announced a $20 billion equity raise to fund new factories. The article considers a custom infotainment chip unlikely and sees AI6 as the more plausible candidate, though without official confirmation. Samsung already holds a $16 billion AI6 contract. According to the article, AI4+ is almost certainly off the table.…

• Intel confirms Tesla as a foundry customer for its 14A process.
• Intel places the 14A process around 2028, versus TSMC's A14.
• No party has named the chip; AI6 is the article's hypothesis.
