Product Overview

The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor — Seed Series #5 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0005-130NM) sits in the early Seed tier at a price of $1,091.08. It delivers 116.96 KFLOPS on the 130nm node with 1 qubit of quantum integration — a 17% performance uplift over the baseline Seed #1 for only a 9.1% cost increase.

Cost Breakdown

List Price: $1,091.08 USD

The additional $91.08 over the Seed #1 buys you 16,960 extra floating-point operations per second. That translates to a cost-per-KFLOP of approximately $9.33 — already an improvement over the baseline $10.00/KFLOP. This demonstrates the AutoPhi V18 scaling principle: as you step up through the catalog, the cost-per-FLOP consistently decreases. The 130nm fabrication keeps the manufacturing overhead low, and the incremental price reflects voxel configuration complexity rather than expensive node shrinks.

For budget-conscious buyers who need slightly more headroom than the absolute minimum, the Seed #5 offers meaningful extra performance for less than $100 additional investment.

Performance Specifications

Compute Performance: 116.96 KFLOPS

Fabrication Node: 130nm

Quantum Integration: 1 qubit

Performance Class: Kilo-class

The 116.96 KFLOPS output represents a carefully calibrated voxel configuration that pushes the 130nm envelope without hitting thermal or power ceilings. The single-qubit quantum bus remains identical to the Seed #1, maintaining full software and workflow compatibility across the early Seed tier. For embedded applications, sensor fusion, lightweight signal processing, and educational deployments, this is a strong performer at an accessible price.
