Electric vehicle giant Tesla signed a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung Electronics to manufacture next-generation chips.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the deal in an X post.
“Samsung’s giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate. Samsung currently makes AI4. TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then Arizona,” Musk said.
