“We closed the 2000 fiscal year with a strong fourth quarter, lead by substantial revenue growth and significant reduction in our operating losses. The growth in revenues was driven by increased sales of our Wildcat product line and continued strength of the Oxygen line of products in the channel. We have begun the new year with a series of recently announced key design wins. Dell, continuing a long-standing relationship with 3Dlabs, was the first OEM to announce the selection of the 3Dlabs Wildcat(TM) II 5110 graphics accelerator. Compaq, another existing customer, chose the Wildcat II 5110’s breakthrough dual-pipeline architecture for their professional workstations, and SGI chose 3Dlabs’ latest Wildcat product as a high-performance 3D graphics option for its award-winning Silicon Graphics Zx10(TM) visual workstations,” stated Osman Kent, President and CEO of 3Dlabs.

Kent continued, “For our OEM customers, the leading-edge 3D graphics technology of the Wildcat II, combined with our renowned quality and reliability, provides a level of productivity that is unmatched. Although we are continuing to be affected by the industry-wide shortage in ceramic chip substrates, we expect to show sequential revenue growth in the first quarter.
