Elon wants to pump out a new chip design every 5 weeks. The rest of the industry takes 2 years to do one. Here's the thing most people outside the chip world don't realize. The 2 years has almost nothing to do with how long it takes to design the chip. AI design tools shrank that part a while ago. The time goes to everything after the design is done. Verification, a mask set that costs tens of millions at leading-edge nodes, then 3 to 4 months while your wafers crawl through 1,000+ process…

Elon Musk wants to do 10 chip designs a year with Terafab compared to 1 every 2 years: "The advancement of any given technology is how many iterations, and how much progress per iteration. How many chip designs can you do, make and test in a year? These days it's typically 2 years for even 1 significant chip design, and that's kind of going from start of design to volume fabrication...we want to do more like 10 designs per year."
