applications as a single processing unit and is ideal for the mobile
computing environment.
For the fiscal year ended 12/29/00, revenues totaled $16.2 million,
up from $5.1 million. Net loss totaled $97.7 million, up from $41.1
million. Results reflect the inclusion of increased product revenues.
Net loss reflects increased prototype wafer costs and costs of
photomasks, development systems and other foundry services, and the
