Elon Musk reportedly contacts TSMC, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger quickly responds: Terafab collaboration continues
Intel (INTC.US) CEO Patrick Gelsinger stated that the company will continue its collaboration with Elon Musk on the Terafab project.
Zhitong Finance APP reported that Intel (INTC.US) CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that the company will continue to cooperate with Elon Musk on the Terafab project. This is a bold attempt by the billionaire to venture into advanced chip manufacturing.
Earlier this week, Musk said he was in talks with TSMC regarding collaboration on Terafab. This news dampened investor sentiment towards Intel—the company had signed on as a development partner for Terafab in April this year.
Pat Gelsinger told the media before an event in Tokyo commemorating the US company's 50th anniversary in the Japanese market that Intel would continue to participate in the Terafab project.
The Terafab project is part of a global wave of governments and enterprises racing to expand production capacity for semiconductors and other key components, which are essential for accelerating the rollout of artificial intelligence applications.
From ball bearings, chip equipment, and industrial chemicals to sliding rails, the production capacities of factories for all types of products have reached their limits, prompting companies to build more production lines.

BUZZ-"Broker Opinions" Observation: As growth drivers for artificial intelligence continue to increase, Wall Street’s attitude towards Marvell Electronics is becoming more positive.
October 7 - Marvell Technology (MRVL.O) on Tuesday raised its fiscal 2028 revenue forecast to around $20 billions, beating Wall Street expectations, as surging artificial intelligence spending drives growing demand for the company’s custom data center chips. At least 11 analysts have raised their price targets; the median target price among 45 brokerages covering the stock is $325, according to Reuters data. Full speed ahead: Morgan Stanley (rated “Neutral”, target price $300) said the company's long-term targets are achievable in a potential $3 trillion AI infrastructure spending environment, but cautioned that the projected 55%-70% growth leaves almost no room for execution errors, setting a high bar for quarterly results. JPMorgan (“Overweight”, target price $360) noted: "The company is operating at full speed, and the upgraded outlook is not limited to a single product category or customer, but is supported by multiple growth drivers across the data center full stack.” TD Cowen (“Buy”, target price $350) stated that Marvell’s underlying growth momentum has fully shifted to its robust connectivity business, and the risks associated with its custom XPU projects have substantially eased. Melius Research (“Buy”, target price $445) believes that Marvell's market capitalization could reach $1 trillion if the company executes as planned.
