Exhibit 99.1

PLX Technology, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter, Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Results

  • 20 Percent Sequential Quarterly PCI Express Revenue Growth
  • Company Extends PCI Express Leadership with Gen 2 Chip Family

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLXT) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

“In the fourth quarter, in addition to improving total Company financial results, we made continued progress with our long-term growth initiative, our PCI Express® product line,” said Michael Salameh, PLX Technology chief executive officer. “We achieved 20 percent sequential quarterly revenue growth in this product line, and also started sampling and won important designs with our Gen 2 PCI Express chip family, which consists of five switches ranging in capacity from 12 lanes to 48 lanes. With a five gigabits per second data rate, Gen 2 provides double the data rate and is backward-compatible with the currently deployed Gen 1 standard.

“In the fourth quarter, we also saw continued rapid adoption of the PCI Express standard and a broadening of our revenue base. By the end of the fourth quarter, PLX had shipped production units, samples or development systems to more than 800 different customers since we launched the product line in 2004 -- approximately a third greater the number of this time last year. Also, more than 90 customers had started production of products using our PCI Express chips. The uses for our PCI Express chips are wide-ranging; examples of customer products in production include HP and Sun servers, Adaptec and NEC storage products, AMD graphics adapters, National Instruments measurement systems, Ericsson 3G base stations, and Nokia virtual private network systems.”

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, PLX reported net revenues of $22.1 million, a five percent increase from the $21.0 million reported in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, and a four percent increase compared to the $21.2 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. Net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, were $81.7 million, as compared with $81.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Net revenues in 2006 included a $2.8 million one-time pick-up as a result of the Company’s change in accounting for revenue to distributors.

Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, was $531,000, or $0.02 per share (diluted). This compares with net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share (diluted). This also compares to net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, of $162,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted). Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, was $1.2 million, or $0.04 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share (diluted), for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

The Company’s gross margin for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, was 60.6 percent, as compared with 61.8 percent for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and 55.9 percent for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. Gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, was 60.6 percent as compared with 58.5 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the year-over-year gross margin percentage was due primarily to improved PCI Express gross margins and changes in product mix.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, were $13.2 million. This compares with operating expenses of $12.0 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and $11.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, operating expenses were $50.2 million as compared with $45.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

The Company’s balance sheet remained strong. At December 31, 2007, cash and investments grew by $4.3 million, or 10.0 percent, to $46.6 million, from $42.3 million at December 31, 2006. Additionally, there continues to be no debt.
