that these classical algorithms benefit efficiently from parallelization—so that the computer would be performing on par with, perhaps, 30 high-end single-threaded cores. The D-Wave 2X processor is based on a 2048-qubit chip with half of the qubits disabled; these were activated in the D-Wave 2000Q. Advantage In February 2019 D-Wave announced the next-generation system that would become the Advantage. The Advantage architecture would the total number of qubits to over 5000 and switch to the Pegasus graph topology, increasing the per qubit connections to 15. D-WAVE claimed the Advantage architecture provided a 10x speedup in time-to-solve over the 2000Q product offering. D-WAVE claims that an incremental follow-up Advantage Performance Update provides 2x speedup over Advantage and a 20x speedup over 2000Q, among other improvements.
