SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2002

Silicon Motion, Inc. announced today that VIA Technologies, Inc. selected the Lynx3DM+ graphics controller for their new Tablet PC reference design. The VIA Tablet PC is a compact, high performance mobile computer that bridges the gap between PC and notepad. For the mobile individual, the VIA TabletPC reference design provides all the power to run common productivity applications anywhere and the graphics performance to maximize the Internet experience.
