It delivers <strong>116.96 KFLOPS<\/strong> on the 130nm node with 1 qubit of quantum integration \u2014 a 17% performance uplift over the baseline Seed #1 for only a 9.1% cost increase.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p><strong>List Price:<\/strong> $1,091.08 USD<\/p>\n<p>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 <strong>$9.33<\/strong> \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance Specifications<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Compute Performance:<\/strong> 116.96 KFLOPS<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabrication Node:<\/strong> 130nm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quantum Integration:<\/strong> 1 qubit<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance Class:<\/strong> Kilo-class<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/on-demand.html\">Browse the full AutoPhi V18 On-Demand catalog \u2014 1,000 processors from $1K to $2.8T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/lcus_masonry_article]<\/p>\n<p><!-- crione-related-start --><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel\">\n<style>.crione-rel{margin:2em 0;padding:1.25em 0;border-top:2px solid #ddd;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;}.crione-rel-title{font-weight:600;font-size:1.05em;margin-bottom:.75em;}.crione-rel-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(180px,1fr));gap:1em;}.crione-rel-card{display:block;text-decoration:none;color:inherit;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;padding:.75em;transition:box-shadow .15s;}.crione-rel-card:hover{box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.08);}.crione-rel-card img{display:none;}.crione-rel-name{font-weight:500;line-height:1.3;margin-bottom:.25em;}.crione-rel-price{font-weight:600;color:#0a7;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-title\">Related from cri-one.com\/store<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-grid\"><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/semiconductor-method-discovery-15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/s\/m\/smd-15-2026.png\" alt=\"Semiconductor Method Discovery \u2014 AES YFlops IC Fabrication\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">Semiconductor Method Discovery \u2014 AES YFlops IC Fabrication<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$5000000000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/s\/2\/s2-eval-90day.png\" alt=\"Quantum Battery Seed Two -- 90-Day Evaluation License\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">Quantum Battery Seed Two &#8212; 90-Day Evaluation License<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$5000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/s\/2\/s2-pof-009.png\" alt=\"Quantum Battery Seed Two - Proof of Function 9: Cost Sub-Linear Scaling\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">Quantum Battery Seed Two &#8211; Proof of Function 9: Cost Sub-Linear Scaling<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$1.99<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- crione-related-end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[lcus_masonry_article] Product Overview The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor \u2014 Seed Series #5 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0005-130NM) sits in the early Seed tier at a price of $1,091.08.
