Xilinx Sales Up 10% Sequentially; Quarterly Dividend Increased $0.02 Per Share

Highlights -Second Quarter Fiscal 2010

    --  Xilinx announced design support for Virtex-6 HXT FPGAs with Version 11.3
        of the ISE(R) Design Suite software. Optimized for 40G/100G wired
        telecommunications and data communications, Virtex-6 HXT FPGAs deliver
        serial interface technology to designers of ultra-high bandwidth systems
        with line rates in excess of 11 Gigabits per second.   As the leader in
        serial connectivity solutions for FPGAs, Xilinx estimates that it
        shipped over 75% of the PLD industry's FPGAs with embedded transceivers
        in the September quarter.
    --  The Spartan-6 family continues to be the PLD industry's only 45nm
        high-volume FPGA family.  Manufactured by Samsung, this family marks the
        first time transceiver capability and high-performance PCIe and memory
        controller blocks have been integrated into a 45nm low-cost FPGA fabric.
        These key technologies enable customers to make FPGA-based products and
        platforms that are lower power, lower cost and easier to use.
    --  The Company's consistent profitability and cash flow generation--even
        during challenging economic conditions, led to the Board's recent
        decision to increase the quarterly cash dividend by $0.02 to $0.16 per
        common share.  This is the fifth time Xilinx has increased its dividend
        since initiating the dividend program in April 2004.

    --  Gross margin is expected to be approximately 62% to 63%.
    --  Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $186 million,
        including $3 million in charges relating to restructuring activity

    --  Other income and expense is expected to be a net expense of
        approximately $1 million.
