台積電探索與馬斯克Terafab合作 可能成為德州新廠主要客戶

Quick Look

台積電正評估與馬斯克旗下Terafab合作,協助其在德州格萊姆斯郡建設晶圓廠,並可能將Terafab視為德州新廠區的主要客戶。此消息出現於台積電規劃在美國興建第二座大型生產基地之際,雙方尚未簽署協議。Terafab計畫由特斯拉、SpaceX與xAI共同參與,預計提供1太瓦AI運算能力,但目前尚未正式投產。

Why It Matters

台積電已承諾投資2650億美元於亞利桑那州建廠,並正評估在美國興建第二座大型生產基地,地點可能位於達拉斯附近。馬斯克於2026年3月21日宣布Terafab計畫,目標是打造年產能達1太瓦的AI運算設施,並由特斯拉、SpaceX與xAI共同參與。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕前彭博專欄作家、獨立媒體Culpium創辦人高燦鳴(Tim Culpan)爆料指出,台積電正評估與馬斯克合作,協助他在德州打造的Terafab晶圓廠計畫。這項計畫由特斯拉(Tesla)、SpaceX 與 xAI 共同參與。

綜合外媒報導指出,台積電正考慮將Terafab視為德州新廠區的潛在主要客戶。目前雙方尚未簽署任何協議。不過,這項消息出現的時間點相當敏感。

請繼續往下閱讀...

就在前一天,也就是10月1日,彭博報導指出,台積電正評估在美國興建第二座大型生產基地,地點可能位於達拉斯附近。這項計畫將是在台積電已承諾投入2650億美元興建亞利桑那州廠區之外,再進一步擴大美國布局。

《StartupFortune》本週先前報導指出,台積電評估德州設廠的消息。這次的新進展在於馬斯克的參與,台積電可能不只是抽象地尋找達拉斯一帶的設廠地點,而是特別考慮Terafab的龐大晶片需求,並將其視為足以支撐新廠建設的主要客戶。

馬斯克於2026年3月21日宣布Terafab計畫。他當時表示,這座設施最終每年將具備提供1太瓦人工智慧運算能力的產能。按照他的說法,這將超過全球所有晶片製造商的總和。

8月6日,特斯拉與SpaceX正式確認廠址位於德州格萊姆斯郡,第一階段投資金額為168億美元,預計至少雇用3000名員工。SpaceX於5月提交的一份文件則指出,若計入所有建設階段,整體計畫的潛在投資金額最高可達1190億美元。

對一家目前還沒有任何晶圓廠正式投入生產的公司而言,這是極為龐大的計畫。而這也正是台積電的名字出現在相關消息中,格外引人關注的原因。

台積電的核心競爭優勢,來自按照自己的規劃營運晶圓廠,並為付費客戶提供產能。這些客戶通常必須排隊等待產能,而不是直接決定晶圓廠的建設時程。然而,若要營運一座完全圍繞單一客戶的時程與晶片種類打造的設施,幾乎就與台積電原有的營運模式背道而馳。

坦白說,只有在Terafab的實際需求足夠龐大、可信度也足夠高的情況下,台積電才有理由考慮這種合作。如此一來,Terafab才能為達拉斯附近的新廠區提供穩定的需求支撐,降低投資風險;否則,這座新廠將缺乏已確定進駐的主要客戶。

若德州廠區是圍繞Terafab打造,台積電就等於押下更集中的一筆投資。這項投資將與馬斯克能否如期執行計畫、特斯拉的財務狀況,以及 xAI 的運算工作負載是否真的需要馬斯克所宣稱的龐大產能,緊密連動。

目前,相關企業都尚未證實任何交易條款或金額,也沒有確認雙方的洽談是否已超越初步評估階段。

TSMC’s Q3 financial report will be released on October 15, and 95% of Wall Street analysts are optimistic about buying.

TSMC will announce its third-quarter financial results and hold a press conference on October 15, and its operating outlook has attracted much attention. Foreign media call it the "AI gatekeeper." Since this year, ADR's stock price has risen by more than 50%, and Taiwan's stock price has increased by more than 60%. 95% of analysts on Wall Street have given it a buy rating, with an average target price of US$535, which still leaves about 13% room for growth from the current closing price. The report pointed out that TSMC has a dominant position in the field of advanced AI semiconductor manufacturing. Its main customers include technology giants such as Huida, Apple, Broadcom, AMD and Amazon. Among them, Huida may contribute approximately US$33 billion in revenue to TSMC in 2026. Revenue in the latest quarter increased by 34% year-on-year, EPS increased by 77%, and advanced processes accounted for 77% of revenue. The company estimates that revenue in the third quarter will be approximately US$45 billion, an increase of 12% from the second quarter.

Taipower and PetroChina have reduced their bond issuance scale, and interest costs have been high. A downgrade in their credit ratings will impact PetroChina's gas purchases.

Taipower and PetroChina have reduced their bond issuance scale, and interest costs have been high. A downgrade in their credit ratings will impact PetroChina's gas purchases.

Taipower plans to issue 150 billion yuan in corporate bonds this year. As of October, it has issued 63.6 billion yuan, with interest expenses approaching 30 billion yuan. The scale of CNPC's bond issuance has been reduced to 32.2 billion yuan due to the government's coordination of public equity banks to provide 300 billion yuan in project financing, but interest expenses still amount to 13 billion yuan. The two companies' long-term and short-term borrowings total more than 1.7 trillion yuan, and their credit ratings rely on government guarantees. If they are downgraded, it will increase the cost of international gas purchase guarantees and weaken their negotiating power.

The passenger load factor for flights from Kaohsiung to Japan during the August summer vacation was below 80%. Kumamoto was affected by the earthquake, and Thai Lion Air’s Hokkaido flight dropped the average.
Developing·1 hour ago

The passenger load factor for flights from Kaohsiung to Japan during the August summer vacation was below 80%. Kumamoto was affected by the earthquake, and Thai Lion Air’s Hokkaido flight dropped the average.

Statistics from the Civil Aviation Administration of China show that the average passenger load factor for routes from Kaohsiung to Japan during the summer vacation in August this year was less than 80%. The passenger load factor for Kumamoto was only 72.2% due to the earthquake on July 28. The popular Hokkaido route was only 63.5% due to the passenger load factor of Thai Lion Air, which lowered the overall average. Although Tiger Airways flew to Hokkaido with a load factor of 96.4%, it could not make up for the impact of Thai Lion Air's low passenger load factor.
