[Musk Advised to 'Step Back' by Chip Experts: Terafab Project Harder Than Launching Starship Rockets] According to Wccftech, Musk stated that the Terafab manufacturing project he is leading will have the capability to produce 1 teraflop of computing power. However, semiconductor experts pointed out that this goal is extremely difficult to achieve, emphasizing that the entry barrier for chip manufacturing is extraordinarily high. Achieving stable yields with Terafab may prove to be even more challenging than sending the Starship to Mars. Executives from Samsung revealed that the strength of the chip manufacturing industry lies in the knowledge accumulated over years of improving yield rates through a highly complex process. To bring equipment to a yield level suitable for mass production and maintain the optimal combination of process steps, it would take at least 30 years. Park Joon-yong, an analyst at South Korea's Hanwha Securities, believes that Terafab aims to provide chips for application fields ranging from aerospace to autonomous vehicles and robotics.
