SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2001

3Dlabs(R), Inc. Ltd. (Nasdaq:TDDD) today announced that its high-performance Wildcat(TM) II 5110 graphics accelerator will be available in the channel for the first time to qualified system integrators via 3Dlabs' acclaimed Wildcat Partner Program. Previously only available to Tier-One OEMs, the award-winning Wildcat II 5110 is now offered along with the Wildcat 4110, which was first released to the channel in April 2001. Both cards are available exclusively to system integrators and OEMs who build high-end OpenGL-based systems for graphics-intensive fields such as computer aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), geophysical, medical and visual simulation.

The 3Dlabs Wildcat Partner Program provides a no-cost, rapid certification process for workstations submitted by systems integrators and OEMs. The program leverages the strength of 3Dlabs' worldwide distribution channel to make selected Wildcat graphics accelerators available to a wider range of professionals.

"There has been intense demand for the Wildcat II 5110 in the channel from high-end systems integrators who want to compete using the world's fastest graphics," said Drew Singh, director of channel sales at 3Dlabs.
