Product Overview

The AutoPhi V18 Voxel Processor — Micro Series #85 (SKU: APV18-MIC-0085-90NM) is a mid-tier Micro processor priced at approximately $6,400.00, delivering an estimated 3.2 MFLOPS (3,200 KFLOPS) on the 90nm node with approximately 10 qubits. This processor marks the critical node transition within the Micro tier — moving from the legacy 130nm process to the more advanced 90nm fabrication.

Cost Breakdown

List Price: ~$6,400.00 USD

The transition to 90nm drives a price increase relative to earlier Micro models, but the performance gains far outpace the cost. At ~$6,400 for 3.2 MFLOPS, the cost-per-MFLOP is approximately $2,000 — or equivalently, $2.00 per KFLOP. This is a 5x improvement in cost-per-KFLOP compared to the Seed #1 baseline. The 90nm node enables denser transistor packing, lower leakage current, and higher clock frequencies, all of which contribute to the massive performance jump.

The ~10-qubit quantum subsystem represents a significant upgrade. At 10 qubits, the processor can execute quantum circuits of meaningful depth, including basic quantum machine learning kernels, quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) instances, and multi-qubit entanglement experiments.

Performance Specifications

Compute Performance: ~3.2 MFLOPS (Mega-class)

Fabrication Node: 90nm

Quantum Integration: ~10 qubits

Performance Class: Mega-class

Crossing into Mega-class territory, the Micro #85 delivers over 3 million floating-point operations per second. The 90nm node provides a 44% transistor density improvement over 130nm, enabling more complex voxel configurations within the same die area. The 10-qubit quantum layer opens the door to algorithms that require multi-qubit interference, making this processor suitable for quantum chemistry simulations, optimization problems, and hybrid machine learning workloads.
