eSilicon Plays Key Role in Development of Spansion(R) EcoRAM(TM) for a New Class of Server Memory Solutions

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUNNYVALE, CA, September 30 / MARKET WIRE/ --

eSilicon Corporation, a pioneering
semiconductor value chain producer (VCP), today announced it played a key
role in the development of Spansion? EcoRAM(TM), previously announced on
June 24, 2008. This breakthrough technology is designed to solve the
growing energy consumption crisis in data centers by replacing power-hungry
DRAM in servers.

With Spansion EcoRAM, powered by the Virident GreenGateway(TM), Spansion
has created a way to re-architect the memory subsystem so it is still
compatible with existing server designs. Spansion EcoRAM can help slash
energy consumption by up to 75 percent in data center servers, and offer up
to four times the memory capacity of traditional DRAM-only servers for the
same energy consumption.

"We're very proud to play a key role in helping Spansion introduce this
important technology," stated Jack Harding, chairman, president and CEO of
eSilicon. "It's been very exciting for us to work with these two companies,
as they slash costs and energy consumption in data centers."

This engagement is an example of eSilicon's integrated right-first-time
approach to providing its customers application specific integrated
circuits (ASICs) in a timely, lower risk and cost efficient manner. The
company was involved in the package design, test development and
qualification of the device and will provide fully packaged and tested
production silicon to Spansion.

"Spansion EcoRAM is making a significant impact on the industry, directly
addressing the challenge of providing an energy efficient solution while
also supporting the increasing demand for instant access to Internet and
other data," said Jan Silverman, vice president, Mass Storage Division at
Spansion. "eSilicon plays an important role in helping us deliver this new
class of product, and will continue to be a part of our effort to offer new
server memory solutions to the market that dramatically reduce data center
total-cost-of-ownership and energy."

Spansion, Inc. is a leading Flash memory solutions provider, and Virident
Systems, Inc. is the creator of the first green data-centric technology
platform delivering a new class of green memory, servers and applications
for the data center.
