The AutoPhi V18 Voxel Processor \u2014 Micro Series #85<\/strong> (SKU: APV18-MIC-0085-90NM) is a mid-tier Micro processor priced at approximately $6,400.00<\/strong>, delivering an estimated 3.2 MFLOPS<\/strong> (3,200 KFLOPS) on the 90nm<\/strong> node with approximately 10 qubits<\/strong>. This processor marks the critical node transition within the Micro tier \u2014 moving from the legacy 130nm process to the more advanced 90nm fabrication.<\/p>\n List Price:<\/strong> ~$6,400.00 USD<\/p>\n The transition to 90nm drives a price increase relative to earlier Micro models, but the performance gains far outpace the cost. At ~$6,400 for 3.2 MFLOPS, the cost-per-MFLOP is approximately $2,000<\/strong> \u2014 or equivalently, $2.00 per KFLOP<\/strong>. This is a 5x improvement in cost-per-KFLOP compared to the Seed #1 baseline. The 90nm node enables denser transistor packing, lower leakage current, and higher clock frequencies, all of which contribute to the massive performance jump.<\/p>\n The ~10-qubit quantum subsystem represents a significant upgrade. At 10 qubits, the processor can execute quantum circuits of meaningful depth, including basic quantum machine learning kernels, quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) instances, and multi-qubit entanglement experiments.<\/p>\n Compute Performance:<\/strong> ~3.2 MFLOPS (Mega-class)<\/p>\n Fabrication Node:<\/strong> 90nm<\/p>\n Quantum Integration:<\/strong> ~10 qubits<\/p>\n Performance Class:<\/strong> Mega-class<\/p>\n Crossing into Mega-class territory, the Micro #85 delivers over 3 million floating-point operations per second. The 90nm node provides a 44% transistor density improvement over 130nm, enabling more complex voxel configurations within the same die area. The 10-qubit quantum layer opens the door to algorithms that require multi-qubit interference, making this processor suitable for quantum chemistry simulations, optimization problems, and hybrid machine learning workloads.<\/p>\nCost Breakdown<\/h2>\n
