WEITEK ANNOUNCES POWER PARTNERS PROGRAM 
New OEM Market Development Effort to Increase Customer Product Sales

(NOTE: Contains multiple releases for several Power Partners)

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 1, 1992--Weitek Corporation (NASDAQ: WWTK) today
announced the Weitek Power Partners program, providing market development
and communications assistance to OEM customers of the Weitek Power for
Windows User Interface Processor and Controller product family. Weitek
also announced it has begun shipping its W5186 User Interface Controller
to OEMs.

The purpose of the Weitek Power Partners program is to increase Weitek
OEM's addin card and motherboard systems sales. Based on the level of
participation, the program services available are: 1 ) marketing
communications services to plan and prepare product launches; 2) strategic
ISV support for Weitek technology; 3) support services training to improve
technical support and product testing; 4) inclusion in an advisory panel
to provide input into Weitek's new product planning; and, 5) market
intelligence on competing products based on non-Weitek controllers.

"We believe we are the first user interface controller company in the
semiconductor industry to provide a marketing partnership program with OEM
customers," said Barry Cox, president of Weitek. "Our goal is to make our
customers more successful in their markets and sales channels. We are
doing this by providing a quality product and partnering with them in
marketing their products to the Windows market."

"Microsoft is pleased that Weitek supports Windows with its family of user
interface controllers," said Bob Taniguchi, Manager IHV Relations,
Microsoft Corporation. "Our end users benefit when IHV's such as Weitek
provide products that enhance the performance of Windows and its
applications."

The Market 

User interface enhancement products enable and improve the speed of
industry-standard user interfaces, applications and operating system
software. This market has segmented based on applications, features and
price.

Of this market, Windows enhancement products represent one of the fastest
growing segments with more than 12 million units of Microsoft Windows sold
since its introduction, according to analyst reports. Today, Windows
enhancement products support text and graphics, and, in the future, will
be extended to include audio and video capabilities.

"While end users receive ease-of-use and productivity benefits from
Windows, they also experience decreased system performance when running
Windows business applications," said Cox. "The W5186 addresses their needs
by cost-effectively enhancing the on-screen performance of word processing
and spreadsheets."

The W5186 

In addition, Weitek has sold out and begun shipping the first production
run of the Weitek 5186, its newest user interface controller designed to
enhance the performance of Windows business applications by two to four
times. Several W5186-based board products are immediately available from
Weitek Power Partners.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 1, 1992 - VidTech Microsystems, a division of NEI
Electronics, today announced WinMax, a Windows adapter card that enhances
the on-screen performance of business applications up to seven times.
WinMax, based on Weitek Corporation's W5186 User Interface Controller, is
available immediately direct from VidTech for suggested retail prices of
$199 and $299, depending on configuration.

WinMax is designed to increase the on-screen performance of Windows
business applications such as word processing and spreadsheets, as well as
other Windows applications. Specifically, WinMax makes unfolding menus,
repositioning windows and scrolling through pages five to seven times
faster than dumb frame-buffer Super VGA controllers. This increased
performance is achieved through the W5186 which incorporates Bit Block
Transfer (BitBLT) and LineDraw functions in hardware to offload the CPU.

"Windows has changed the office market, and WinMax will change how people
use Windows," said Loren Peck, VidTech product marketing manager. "Today,
end users either pay a premium for acceptable on screen performance, or
they end up waiting for their machines to do basic Windows functions using
an SVGA card.

"SVGA, which has been the entry-level standard, does not have acceptable
Windows performance, while graphics coprocessors cost too much," Peck
added. "WinMax is manufactured to match SVGA's price point and provide
five to seven times the performance, which is the productivity business
application users demand."

WinMax is an AT-bus card for IBM PCs and compatibles that supports up to
1024-by-768 resolutions with a full array of 16,256, and 32,768 colors to
display quality images, and refresh rates up to 72 Hz. The card also
supports interlaced and non-interlaced mode for all analog VGA, Super VGA
and Multi-frequency monitors and provides IBM registers for backward
compatibility.

VidTech's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility uses true surface mount
technology to provide quality products backed with a five year warranty.

The Market

Windows enhancement products enable and improve the speed of
industry-standard user interfaces, applications and operating system
software. This market has segmented based on applications, features and
price.

Until recently, the entry-level graphics market leader in the PC industry
has been Tseng Lab's ET4000-based products. PC Labs Benchmarks show that
WinMax is five to 20 times faster than Tseng, and benchmarks using
"real-world" application tests show WinMax is up to seven times faster.

"The success of Windows has created demand for higher color support and
increased performance at the application level to improve user
productivity," said Peck. "With S3-like performance at ET4000-based board
pricing, WinMax provides features and functionality that will make it
today's new entry-level product for the PC platform."

Pricing and Availability

WinMax is half-slot, 16-bit card that fits into an ISA bus. The WinMax card
has a base configuration of 512K VRAM priced at $199 with a full
complement of upgrades, such as 1 MB of VRAM with Hi-Color RAMDAC priced
at $299.

WinMax ships with Windows 3.1 and 3.0 and AutoCAD drivers, as well as
drivers for most of the popular DOS applications. The card has a five year
manufacturer's warranty and free technical support.

FULLERTON, Calif., June 1, 1992--AvTech Development, Inc., a California
developer and manufacturer of computer systems, today introduced GraphTEK
2, a Windows accelerator designed specifically to increase the on-screen
performance of Microsoft Windows business application software up to nine
times. GraphTEK 2, based on Weitek Corporation's W5186 User Interface
Controller, is available immediately at a suggested retail price of $199.

The second in a series of AvTech's Windows products, GraphTEK 2 provides an
average of four to five times the performance of Windows business
applications on a standard 386SX system compared to standard VGA in the
same system, and an average of two to three times the performance in a

marketing support to capitalize on this fast growing market."

The market for Windows enhancement products, which optimize the performance
of industry-standard user interfaces, applications and operating system
software, is segmented based on applications, features and cost.
"Mainstream Windows users are utilizing business applications, such as
word processors and spreadsheets that represent about 90 percent of the
market," said Sun. "These users demand a reasonably priced product that
provides fast performance in high resolution mode to improve their
productivity."

GraphTEK 2 supports all standard display resolutions up to 1,024-by-768 and
