The AutoPhi V18-Seed Voxel Processor \u2014 Seed Series #15<\/strong> (SKU: APV18-SEE-0015-130NM) is priced at $1,356.73<\/strong> and delivers 173.05 KFLOPS<\/strong> on the 130nm node. Critically, it features 2 qubits<\/strong> of quantum integration \u2014 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.<\/p>\n List Price:<\/strong> $1,356.73 USD<\/p>\n The jump from 1 qubit to 2 qubits adds architectural complexity, but the price increase remains modest \u2014 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<\/strong>, continuing the efficiency curve downward. More importantly, the addition of the second qubit means the processor can begin executing entangled gate operations \u2014 a capability that has no classical equivalent and cannot be measured purely in KFLOPS.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Compute Performance:<\/strong> 173.05 KFLOPS<\/p>\n Fabrication Node:<\/strong> 130nm<\/p>\n Quantum Integration:<\/strong> 2 qubits<\/p>\n Performance Class:<\/strong> Kilo-class<\/p>\n 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 \u2014 where the color-coded classical instructions (ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV) execute in parallel with quantum gate sequences \u2014 is the defining characteristic of the AutoPhi V18 architecture. The Seed #15 is where buyers first experience it at a meaningful level.<\/p>\nCost Breakdown<\/h2>\n
