UPDATE 2-Intel lands key first customer for chip '14A' chip tech with Tesla's Terafab project, Musk saysAdds background about Intel and 14A in paragraph 2 and 3, adds analyst comment in paragraph 7. April 22 - Tesla's TSLA.O Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said on Wednesday the company plans to use Intel's INTC.O advanced 14A manufacturing process to make chips at its Terafab project.The move marks a breakthrough for Intel, which has been trying to revamp its business to attract outside customers to use its chip manufacturing technology. Intel's forthcoming "14A" chipmaking technology aims to compete with top rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co 2330.TW, but Intel had not yet disclosed a major external customer."It’s important to have multiple partners as early design partners to help clean the pipe and work through needed learnings at the leading edge. They will definitely have scale, so a great first non-Intel customer," Bajarin said.

This past week, Meta Platforms filed paperwork outlining incentive plans for senior executives not named Mark Zuckerberg. This wouldn't be news except for the fact that the strike prices for the included stock options range from $1,116 a share to $3,727.

But, likely, the dream is that Meta leverages its 3.6 billion users worldwide and becomes the leading provider of consumer artificial-intelligence services, maybe through its AI smart glasses.Met

The iPhone maker projects gross margins well ahead of Wall Street's estimates, reassuring investors that it's successfully managing the surge in memory prices. Apple executives cited a "favorable mix" of high-end hardware and Services growth as a buffer against rising memory costs. Apple CEO Tim Cook is known for being a supply-chain maven. And he faces a tough test as the company navigates a supply environment that's been disrupted by the artificial-intelligence boom.Apple's ability to command strong and expanding margins despite these disruptions partly reflects "favorable mix," CFO Kevan Parekh added. Basically, the company is selling more of its higher-margin, presumably higher-priced products and seeing double-digit growth within its Services business, which includes things like the App Store that are generally more profitable than hardware. Apple's Services segment achieved a record-breaking $30 billion of revenue in the December quarter, growing 14% year over year.It's unclear h
