However, with feasibility now proven, we have been successful in igniting the imagination of this and other target customers. We continue to invest significantly in developing our FPGA technology and consider it to be an important long term growth driver. We believe that this win is an important step forward in our FPGA strategy that will open doors to new possibilities, widening the circle of solutions that we can offer our fast-growing target markets."
