Product Overview
The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor — Seed Series #15 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0015-130NM) is priced at $1,356.73 and delivers 173.05 KFLOPS on the 130nm node. Critically, it features 2 qubits of quantum integration — doubling the quantum bus width over the earlier single-qubit Seeds. This opens the door to basic quantum-entangled operations and positions the Seed #15 as the gateway to hybrid classical-quantum computing within the Seed tier.
Cost Breakdown
List Price: $1,356.73 USD
The jump from 1 qubit to 2 qubits adds architectural complexity, but the price increase remains modest — only $356.73 above the baseline Seed #1 (a 35.7% cost increase) for a 73% performance boost. The cost-per-KFLOP is approximately $7.84, continuing the efficiency curve downward. More importantly, the addition of the second qubit means the processor can begin executing entangled gate operations — a capability that has no classical equivalent and cannot be measured purely in KFLOPS.
For buyers interested in quantum-hybrid workflows, the Seed #15 is the most affordable entry into 2-qubit territory. It costs less than many consumer peripherals while providing genuine quantum processing capability.
Performance Specifications
Compute Performance: 173.05 KFLOPS
Fabrication Node: 130nm
Quantum Integration: 2 qubits
Performance Class: Kilo-class
At 173.05 KFLOPS, the Seed #15 pushes the 130nm Kilo-class boundary. The 2-qubit quantum subsystem enables basic entanglement, superposition, and quantum gate operations alongside the classical Light CPU pipeline. This hybrid operation mode — where the color-coded classical instructions (ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV) execute in parallel with quantum gate sequences — is the defining characteristic of the AutoPhi V18 architecture. The Seed #15 is where buyers first experience it at a meaningful level.
