Weitek Lowers Price on SPARC POWER Upgrade Chips

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. -- May 16, 1994-- Weitek Corporation (NASDAQ: WWTK)
announced that it will reduce the price of its revolutionary SPARC POWER
uP processor. SPARC POWER uP is a high-performance CPU upgrade for Sun
SPARCstation 2 and IPX machines.

The chip was originally priced at $1,500, with a free installation kit on
the first order. This starter kit (the chip and installation kit) is now
offered at $1,200 and $995 for additional chips with discounts for volume
purchasers. In addition, a new program is in place to give special
treatment to those customers who order 100 or more chips.

"This lower price will allow everyone with a SPARCstation 2 or IPX to
afford the upgrade--even oft-neglected second-tier users whose
productivity suffers as much as the productivity of mission-critical
users. SPARC POWER uP will give these systems the speed of a SPARCstation
10 Model 30 and put these users back in the game," reports Ross King,
director of SPARC POWER Sales.

SPARC POWER uP has been received with open arms by the SPARC industry. It
was certified SPARC Compliant by SPARC International and is supported by
SunService under their standard service policies.

Both the chip and its installation kit have won important industry awards.
The SPARC POWER uP processor won the Advanced Systems (formerly SunWorld)
Best Product Award for 1993, while the product packaging and installation
kit won a gold medal in the 1993 Northern California Addy Awards.
