Ultimate Solution

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 27, 1993 -- Weitek Corporation (Nasdaq:WWTK)
announced today that the Weitek Power 9000, the "World's Fastest Graphics
Accelerator" now supports Intel Corporation's Peripheral Component
Interface (PCI) local bus. The PCI bus dramatically boosts the on-screen
performance of applications by giving the Power 9000 direct access to the
PC's central processor.

The Weitek Power 9000 now interfaces to Intel's new PCI Chip Sets,
providing a complete implementation of PCI's performance features. This
combination enables workstation performance on i486 and Pentium desktop
systems.

"The Power 9000 plays an essential role in helping us pave the way for a
new class of business PCs," said Mark Casey, marketing manager for the PCI
Chip Set. Added Bob Butchko, Weitek's director of marketing: "Our
specialty is speed, and Intel's PCI bus provides us with a fast and
forward looking architecture that unleashes the speed potential of our
Power 9000 family of products."

The PCI capable Power 9000 demonstration boards are immediately available
for evaluation and development. The Power 9000 provides unequaled
performance and resolution up to 1600x1200, and refresh rates up to 76 Hz
in non-interlaced mode.

Weitek Corporation makes processors and controllers that enhance the
performance of standard operating systems, user interfaces and application
software. The company's products are used to build faster, more intuitive
desktop computers and peripherals.
