Award-Winning Chip from WEITEK Offers High-Performance Upgrade at a New Lower Price

Sunnyvale, CA. WEITEK Corporation (NASDAQ:WWTK) annouced that prices for the award-winning SPARC POWER uP upgrade chip will be reduced by as much as 20%.

The retail price of the chip, which was $995, is now $795, a reduction of 20%. The price of the upgrade KIT, which includes the chip plus all the tools required to install it, has been reduced from $1200 to $995. Discounts are available for volume purchasers.

Product excellence was also recognized with the presitgious industry awards such ast the "Product of the Year" and "Best Product" by Advanced Systems Magazine.
