Product Overview
The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor — Seed Series #1 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0001-130NM) is the entry point into the entire AutoPhi V18 on-demand processor catalog. Priced at just $1,000.00, it is the most affordable processor in the 1,000-unit lineup and serves as the foundation from which every other configuration in the AutoPhi V18 family grows.
Cost Breakdown
List Price: $1,000.00 USD
At one thousand dollars, the Seed Series #1 represents the lowest cost of entry into the AutoPhi V18 platform. This price point reflects the 130nm fabrication node — a mature, well-understood process technology that keeps manufacturing costs at their absolute minimum. For buyers evaluating the AutoPhi architecture for the first time, this is the risk-free starting point: you get the full voxel instruction set, the seed matrix foundation, and a working quantum integration layer (1 qubit) at a price comparable to consumer electronics.
The cost-per-KFLOP works out to $10.00 per KFLOP — the baseline ratio against which every other processor in the catalog is measured. As you move up the series, the cost-per-FLOP drops dramatically due to exponential performance scaling, but the Seed #1 establishes the anchor.
Performance Specifications
Compute Performance: 100.0 KFLOPS (100,000 floating-point operations per second)
Fabrication Node: 130nm
Quantum Integration: 1 qubit
Performance Class: Kilo-class
At 100.0 KFLOPS, the Seed Series #1 delivers exactly 100,000 floating-point operations per second. This is the baseline performance tier — the “seed” from which the entire voxel architecture is calibrated. The 130nm node provides proven silicon reliability with well-characterized thermal and power profiles. The single qubit integration is not a gimmick; it establishes the quantum bus interface that scales as you move up the product line, ensuring that any code or workflow developed on the Seed #1 is forward-compatible with higher-qubit models.
For educational, prototyping, embedded control, and sensor-processing workloads, 100 KFLOPS is a practical and meaningful amount of compute — particularly when delivered through the unique AutoPhi voxel instruction architecture with its color-coded operations (Red=ADD, Blue=SUB, Green=MUL, Yellow=DIV).
Who Should Buy This Processor
The Seed Series #1 is designed for developers, researchers, educators, and early adopters who want to understand the AutoPhi V18 architecture before committing to higher-performance (and higher-cost) tiers. It is the evaluation unit, the proof-of-concept chip, and the teaching tool.
