PHC05 @ 7 nm · 1,024-core 42U rack — PhantasmPhi CPU
Why you'd want it
A PhantasmPhi CPU licence for a full 42U rack of 1,024 cores, for buyers deploying at rack scale.
- Who it's for: system integrators planning a full 42U rack of PhantasmPhi cores at a 7 nm class process.
- The problem it solves: one licence covers a whole rack rather than many single-server licences; 7 nm porting is yours.
- What you get: CPU RTL, testbenches, self-test program and check script; licensed for 1,024 cores, 42U rack.
PhantasmPhi PHC01 “PhantomCore” CPU IP — 1,024 cores · 42U rack. RTL-proven, SKY130-mapped. See the full calculator at crione-phantasm.php.

Imagine a full-height rack, forty-two units tall, with every slot already spoken for by one design. That is PHC05. It is the PhantasmPhi PHC01 "PhantomCore" CPU IP taken from a single blade to a whole 42U rack: 1,024 cores under one name, drawn for the 7 nm node. The core logic is the same proven PhantomCore - written at the register level, simulated and shown to work, and mapped onto the SKY130 standard-cell library - so what changes at this step is the count, not the heart of the chip.
A rack is the unit most datacenter operators actually buy and plan around, which is why this product stands as its own line on the PhantasmPhi calculator rather than as a multiple of the blade. It is for the operator laying out a row who wants to know what one rack of PhantomCore looks like on paper, for the engineering buyer who needs the RTL in hand to check the claim rather than hear it, and for the licensee who wants a rack-sized blueprint they can put in front of their own silicon team without translating it first.
When you buy, you buy the use of that blueprint only - the 1,024-core PHC05 rack layout and the proven logic underneath it. The PhantomCore IP stays with its inventor, Christopher Gabriel Brown of CRI-ONE, and the buyer leaves with the use of the work, with the inventor's name still on it.
Valuation
Pre-production blueprint usage right, patent pending, non-exclusive. The analog this product is closest to in the market is flagship AI/HPC CPUs — Nvidia Grace Hopper, AMD MI300A, Fujitsu A64FX, with photonic-interposer analogs in Lightmatter.
Patent landscape
Flagship CPU IP is one of the densest filing spaces in silicon; however, novel quantum/photonic interposer configurations (QIC-105 class) remain patentable and defensible.
Market opportunity
- Data-center CPU market: $75B (2026) → $180B (2032).
- AI training/inference silicon: $120B+ (2026), hyperscaler-dominated.
Comparable transactions
- Nvidia → Mellanox (2019): $6.9B.
- AMD → Xilinx (2022): $49B.
- Intel → Habana Labs (2019): $2B for AI accelerator startup.
Estimated valuation range
Realistic clearing band for a non-exclusive blueprint usage right: $10M (research / single-buyer evaluation) → $150M (strategic non-exclusive with manufacturing / deployment rights).
Listed catalog price: $84,372,188 — public anchor for direct enquiry; actual clearing price negotiated inside the range above with the buyer, scope (non-exclusive, territory, field-of-use), and milestone structure.
