Since I didn't know the naming scheme for D-Wave products, they are testing the "D-Wave 2x" which is the latest generation, 1,000 qubit quantum annealer, from the press release when it was launched (Which I just noticed was also linked in the Google post..): In addition to scaling beyond 1000 qubits, the new system incorporates other major technological and scientific advancements. These include an operating temperature below 15 millikelvin, near absolute zero and 180 times colder than interstellar space. With over 128,000 Josephson tunnel junctions, the new processors are believed to be the most complex superconductor integrated circuits ever successfully used in production systems. Increased control circuitry precision and a 50% reduction in noise also contribute to faster performance and enhanced reliability. http://www.dwavesys.com/blog/2015/08/announcing-d-wave-2x-quantum-computer http://www.dwavesys.com/blog/2015/08/announcing-d-wave-2x-qu...
