PHC02 @ 22 nm · 16-node edge cluster — PhantasmPhi CPU

Imagine the same small core you could read on a bench, now sixteen of it, sitting at the edge of a network where the data actually arrives - a cabinet in a factory, a closet at a cell site, a box on a loading dock - rather than in a central hall. That is the edge cluster edition. The name says PHC02 at 22 nm, a sixteen-node cluster; the description says sixteen PhantomCore cores at 400 MHz, built for edge duty. It is the same PhantasmPhi design: RTL-proven, so the logic has been exercised and holds, and SKY130-mapped, the same two marks every edition in this group carries.

The point of an edge cluster is that many small cores close to the work beat one large core far from it. Sixteen nodes let the work spread out, each one handling its own stream, and a modest clock suits a box that lives far from any machine room. It is for the operator who runs sites at the edge and wants a CPU whose design they can read, for the engineering buyer sizing an edge box, and for the licensee who wants a cluster built from a core they can read in full. This is product number 10328; the figures sit in the full calculator on the site.

What you walk away with is the use of the blueprint for this sixteen-node edge edition. The PhantomCore design stays with the inventor, CRI-ONE; the right to put sixteen of it at the edge is yours.
