Gearbestlearned that the core catalyst for Intel’s increase in market value was Intel’s participation in the TERAFAB project jointly launched by Musk’s SpaceX, xAI and Tesla. The project was first officially announced in March 2026 and aims to build the world's largest 2nm advanced chip factory, covering the entire chain of chip design, manufacturing and packaging, with an annual production capacity target of 100 billion to 200 billion chips. The project plans to transfer most of the computing power production capacity to low-Earth orbit and build a space computing power network. Intel has announced its participation in the project through social platforms and will provide its full-chain technical capabilities.
In addition to the TERAFAB project, Intel has also received other favorable support recently. Google has finalized a long-term cooperation and will continue to use Intel Xeon processors. Its wafer fab in Arizona is making good progress in mass production of chips such as Core Ultra 300. The company's layout in the AI field also shows market potential.
