Priced at approximately <strong>$2,692.00<\/strong>, it delivers an estimated <strong>680.0 KFLOPS<\/strong> on the 130nm node with <strong>4 qubits<\/strong>. This is the ceiling of the Seed Series \u2014 the last stop before the Micro Series begins at #51.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p><strong>List Price:<\/strong> ~$2,692.00 USD<\/p>\n<p>At under $2,700, the Seed #50 is the most cost-efficient processor in the entire Seed tier. The cost-per-KFLOP drops to approximately <strong>$3.96<\/strong> \u2014 a 60% improvement over the baseline Seed #1. This aggressive cost curve is the result of maximizing the 130nm node&#8217;s potential through advanced voxel configuration without requiring a node shrink. The 4-qubit quantum subsystem is the most powerful in the Seed tier, enabling multi-qubit entanglement, small quantum circuits, and meaningful hybrid classical-quantum workloads.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers who want the absolute best the Seed tier offers before stepping up to the Micro Series (which starts around $2,973) should look here. The Seed #50 delivers nearly 7x the performance of the Seed #1 for under 2.7x the cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance Specifications<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Compute Performance:<\/strong> ~680.0 KFLOPS<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabrication Node:<\/strong> 130nm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quantum Integration:<\/strong> 4 qubits<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance Class:<\/strong> Kilo-class<\/p>\n<p>Approaching 700 KFLOPS, the Seed #50 is the most powerful Kilo-class processor before the catalog transitions to the Micro Series. The 4-qubit quantum layer supports Grover&#8217;s algorithm variants, small VQE (Variational Quantum Eigensolver) circuits, and quantum random number generation with entanglement verification. It is the most fully realized expression of the Seed tier&#8217;s design intent: maximum extraction from the 130nm process with a quantum layer that is genuinely useful, not merely present.<\/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=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/autophi-v18-achievement-ic-collection.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/i\/c\/ic-v18-achievement.png\" alt=\"AutoPhi V18-Achievement IC Collection\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">AutoPhi V18-Achievement IC Collection<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$9090000000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/apv18-pea-0692-5nm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/a\/p\/apv18-pea-0692-5nm.png\" alt=\"AutoPhi V18-Achievement -- Peak Series #692\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">AutoPhi V18-Achievement &#8212; Peak Series #692<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$9472668.25<\/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 #50 (SKU: APV18-SEE-0050-130NM) is the final and most powerful processor in the Seed tier.
