ATI to Extend Production of IMAGEON 2240 Media Processor with Chartered's 0.13-Micron Low-Power Process

        Media Processor for High-Volume Camera Phone Market to
    Leverage Leading Foundry's Low-Power Manufacturing Capabilities

   ATI Technologies, Inc. (TSX:ATY)(Nasdaq:ATYT) has received
functional samples of its IMAGEON(TM) 2240 media processor for
high-volume camera phones from Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing
(Nasdaq:CHRT) and (SGX-ST:Chartered), one of the world's top dedicated
semiconductor foundries. Following the successful prototyping,
Chartered will start volume production on its 0.13-micron low-power,
all-copper process; therefore providing ATI with additional
manufacturing capacity for its IMAGEON 2240.
   "The IMAGEON 2240 has been gaining good traction in the market
place as a cost-effective, high-performance, and ultra-low power
solution to meet the needs of the extremely competitive entry-level
camera phone segment," said Jim Seto, Vice President, ASIC NPI and
Production Engineering at ATI Technologies. "Expanding production with
Chartered who has proven 0.13-micron manufacturing capabilities, gives
us added flexibility in our capacity needs to meet strategic growth
market opportunities."
   "We're excited to have innovative products, such as ATI's IMAGEON
2240 media processor, leverage our low-power process at 0.13 micron,"
said Mike Rekuc, senior vice president of worldwide sales and
marketing at Chartered. "Being chosen by a system and product leader
as a foundry source for one of its hottest-selling products further
reflects our enhanced position in enabling advanced technologies and
world-class manufacturing."
