EXHIBIT 99.1

OPTi Receives $19.0 Million Verdict in Patent Infringement

Lawsuit Against Apple Inc.

Palo Alto, CA., April 23, 2009 – OPTi Inc (OTCBB:OPTI) today announced that a jury from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled in OPTi’s favor in the patent infringement trial between OPTi Inc (“OPTi”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”), relating to OPTi’s U.S. patent No. 6,405,291, entitled “Predictive Snooping of Cache Memory for Master-Initiated Accesses.” The jury ruled on the following four issues:

• In the matter of wilfull infringement, the jury ruled that Apple wilfully infringed OPTi’s patent;

• In the matter of Apple’s defense that OPTi’s patent was invalid due to obviousness, the jury ruled that OPTi’s patent was valid;

• In the matter of Apple’s defense that the patent was invalid due to anticipation, the jury ruled that the OPTi’s patent was valid;

• In the matter of damages, the jury awarded OPTi $19 million for Apple’s infringement of OPTi’s patent.

The court had ruled previously that Apple had infringed the OPTi patent at issue on April 3, 2009.

The Apple lawsuit is a part of the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims relating to its Predictive Snooping technology. Consequently, the outcome of the Apple case, and any subsequent appeal, will play a role in the Company’s strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims and the Company’s ability to realize licensing revenue from its Predictive Snoop patents. There can be no assurance of the extent to which the outcome of these rulings will lead to positive results in the Apple case or the Company’s overall licensing strategy.
