RadiSys Expands Procelerant COM Express Module Family with Release of New Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processors

     RadiSys COM Express Offerings Deliver Broad Choice of Module
  Options for Portable Applications That Demand High Performance, Low
      Power Consumption, Large Storage and Memory Capacity, in an
                          Ultra-Small Package
HILLSBORO, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
RadiSys(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:RSYS), a leading global provider of
advanced embedded solutions, today announced the availability of four
new Procelerant(TM) COM Express modules all powered by Intel Core 2
Duo Processor technology and the Mobile Intel(R) GS45/GM45 Express
chipsets. The new compact 95mm x 125mm computer-on-modules (COMs) are
ideal for developers designing portable devices for such applications
as medical and machine imaging that mandate processing performance,
large file transfers, high-throughput communications, yet low power.

   "RadiSys has, once again, enhanced the capabilities of
standards-based COMs by offering a family of modules that enables
device makers to balance price/performance profiles in current designs
with expanding their COM-based solutions into a broad range of new
applications," commented Eric Heikkila, Director of Embedded Hardware
and Systems with market research firm VDC. "We're seeing significant
growth in the COM market precisely because of the tremendous
flexibility available with this open, standards-based modular form
factor."

   Releasing its new COM Express modules simultaneously with Intel's
next-generation Core 2 Duo Processors gives RadiSys customers
immediate access to the latest technology thus saving time and
resources typically associated with new processor implementations.
Three new modules within the expanded Procelerant CEGM45 family offer
either the 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor SL9400, the 1.2GHz
SU9300, or the 1.2GHz Celeron-M 722 processor with a Type 2 pin-out by
adding IDE to the module for seamless transition on Type 2 carrier
boards. The 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SP9300 is offered with
the Type 3 COM Express pin-out, which provides an additional gigabit
Ethernet port in place of the IDE function. All four products
complement the 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400-based COM Express module
introduced by RadiSys this past July.

   With support for up to 8GB DDR3 memory, 6MB cache, and SSE4 SIMD
instruction enhancements, the Procelerant CEGM45 family provides the
memory capacity and the advanced processing instructions that
processor-intensive applications such as medical and machine imaging,
test and measurement, and communications platforms need. The on-board
MicroSD socket four SATA ports and single or dual Gigabit Ethernet
provide increased data storage and transfer for moving or processing
large images or data packets. Lower power consumption of Intel's Core
2 Duo processors extends battery life in portable applications.
Additionally, the smaller footprint of the Intel GS45 Express chipset
frees board space for integration of more features and greater
functionality.

   "The expansion of our Procelerant CEGM45 COM Express family
reflects our long-standing commitment to deliver to equipment
manufacturers solutions that integrate the latest technology as well
as total flexibility by adhering to standards-based open platforms,"
stated Wade Clowes, Vice President and General Manager of commercial
markets for RadiSys. "We have found this to be the best approach to
supporting our customers' current designs and evolving product
roadmap."

   About Procelerant COM Express

   RadiSys Procelerant(TM) CE blades and boards are designed for
embedded applications that require a standard processor and memory
subsystem, but also modular flexibility to retain key design level IP
on a separate carrier board. Procelerant CE products are based on COM
Express(R), a standard that provides a bridge from legacy interfaces
such as PCI and IDE to new serial differential signaling technologies
such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, LVDS, and Serial DVO.

   Because they are modular and standards-based, RadiSys Procelerant
CEGM45 and COM Express products help equipment manufacturers shorten
their time to market and reduce development costs. By removing the
processor, chipset, and memory from the rest of the design,
manufacturers can focus engineering resources on developing
differentiating features and avoid the design churn that comes with
implementing new processor generations. RadiSys also provides a wide
range of COM Expert custom services that further accelerate customer
time-to-market by supplying carrier concept definition and design,
carrier schematic reviews, BIOS customization, and thermal design.
