On June 22, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger spoke on a podcast about the collaboration with Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the Terafab initiative. Gelsinger noted that both he and Musk share the view that the development of semiconductor infrastructure has not kept pace with the growth of artificial intelligence, highlighting gaps in capacity, production efficiency, and power efficiency. During the program, Gelsinger praised Musk as 'one of the greatest entrepreneurs of the century,' expressing his enjoyment in the collaborative process with Musk, who questions traditional methods at every stage. Gelsinger mentioned Musk's clear vision, stating that robots and cars require a large number of chips. Specifically, Gelsinger explained that Terafab is Musk's decision to build a chip factory independently, and Intel is eager to collaborate with him to accelerate production using some of their technologies and processes—this is a project of mutual cooperation.
