Product Overview
The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor — Seed Series #30 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0030-130NM) is priced at approximately $1,876.00 and delivers an estimated 303.0 KFLOPS on the 130nm node with 3 qubits. Positioned in the upper third of the 50-unit Seed tier, the #30 triples the quantum bus width and triples the compute throughput compared to the baseline.
Cost Breakdown
List Price: ~$1,876.00 USD
At approximately $1,876, the Seed #30 costs 87.6% more than the Seed #1 but delivers over 200% more performance. The cost-per-KFLOP drops to approximately $6.19 — a 38% efficiency improvement over baseline. The 3-qubit quantum subsystem adds meaningful entanglement depth: with three qubits, the processor can execute 2-qubit entangled gates with a spare qubit for error detection or ancillary operations. This is a real architectural upgrade, not just a performance bump.
For under $2,000, buyers gain access to a processor that can run small quantum algorithms, perform quantum key distribution prototyping, and execute hybrid classical-quantum workloads that would be impossible on the 1-qubit or 2-qubit Seeds.
Performance Specifications
Compute Performance: ~303.0 KFLOPS
Fabrication Node: 130nm
Quantum Integration: 3 qubits
Performance Class: Kilo-class
Exceeding 300 KFLOPS on the mature 130nm process, the Seed #30 pushes the upper range of what the Seed tier can deliver. The 3-qubit quantum layer enables Toffoli gate implementations and basic quantum error detection. Combined with the Light CPU’s color-coded arithmetic pipeline, this makes the Seed #30 a capable hybrid processor for small-scale quantum research, cryptographic prototyping, and advanced embedded applications.
