Tesla's New Chip Ready To Go Into Production -- 2,500 Trillion Operations Per Second -- April 15, 2026

Locator: 50531TESLA.

TSLA announced that it has just taped out its A15.

Taped out: the final, crucial stage of the design process for an integrated circuit (chip) before it is sent to a manufacturing facility (foundry) to be produced. It is the official moment the design is completed, verified, and handed over to be manufacture.  

The small print:

  • manufactured in the US:
  • Texas: Samsung
  • Arizona: TSMC

How fast? 2,500 TOPS -- 2,500 trillions of operations per second. That's 2,500 trillions of operations per second.

The 144 GB of memory is likely provided by Samsung. This 144 GB is 9 times more than the 16 GB found in previous Hardware 4 (HW4) systems.

Just saying.
