Texas Instruments Sherman Fab — SM1/SM2 Mega-Site, Texas

TYPE3’s map data identifies Texas Instruments Sherman Fab (SM1/SM2 mega-site) as a semiconductor fab in Grayson County, with city precision, coordinates 33.6357, -96.6089, Operating status, a 2021 announced field, a 2025 operational field, and a 150 MW seed estimate. Its note describes a potential $40 billion mega-site with plans for up to four connected 300mm wafer fabs and places Sherman inside TI’s broader $60 billion, seven-fab investment across Texas and Utah. Those capital and production statements do not establish site demand.

TI’s December 17, 2025 newsroom release said production started at SM1 just three and a half years after groundbreaking and that the fab will ramp according to customer demand, ultimately producing tens of millions of chips daily. The Sherman manufacturing page repeats the four-fab plan, cites as many as 3,000 direct TI jobs, 1.3 million square feet of clean-room space, and a 100 percent renewable-electricity claim. Renewable-electricity procurement is not a measured load figure. Future SM2 through SM4 buildings remain demand-gated on TI’s own pages; they should not be treated as currently operating production floors.

Keep Sherman separate from GlobalWafers’ nearby silicon-wafer plant and from TI’s other Texas fabs. Do not convert daily chip counts, clean-room square footage, or the $40 billion ceiling into megawatts. TYPE3’s 150 MW estimate remains unconfirmed, and no reviewed source publishes current electrical demand or available flexibility.
