rdfs:comment	Weitek war eine US-amerikanische Firma, die in den 1980er Jahren mathematische Koprozessoren für IBM-kompatible PC-Systeme (für 386er den 3167, für 486er den 4167) und Workstations (z. B. SUN) sowie Grafikkarten-Prozessoren (WEITEK 9000 bzw. 9100 evtl. mit Video-Coprozessor) entwarf und produzierte. Weitek ging in Insolvenz und wurde von der US-amerikanischen Firma Rockwell Semiconductor aufgekauft. (de) Weitek（ウェイテック、Weitek Corporation）は、かつて存在したアメリカの半導体製造企業。特に他社のCPU向けのFPUを設計開発することを得意とした。 1980年代中盤、Weitekの設計したものは各種のハイエンドマシンや並列処理スーパーコンピュータなどで使われている。1990年代初め、各CPUはFPUを含めて設計されるようになってきたため、Weitekは汎用CPUとグラフィックドライバの市場に打って出ようとした。1995年、Weitekはほとんど倒産寸前となった。1996年後半には、残った資産はロックウェルの半導体部門に買収され、Weitekは消えていった。 (ja) Weitek公司是美國一家無廠半導體業者，該公司最初專注在多種商用微處理器（CPU）的浮點運算單元（FPU）設計，而在1980年初期至中期Weitek公司為平行處理式的超級電腦提供多種高階運算設計。到了1990年初期由於多數的CPU已內建FPU，且基本上FPU功效為免費奉送，這迫使Weitek公司進行一連串的嘗試，嘗試跨進一般用途性的CPU及GPU的市場領域。此後到1995年Weitek近乎停止營運，隨後在1996年由（Rockwell International）的半導體系統部門所收購，並快速從市場上消失。 (zh) Weitek Corporation fue una compañía de desarrollo de chips con base en San José, California. Originalmente concentrada en las unidades de coma flotante para algunos fabricantes de CPUs. A principios y mediados de los años 1980 los diseños de Witek se encontraban en muchos superordenadores que llevaban a cabo computación paralela. Para el 1995 fue muriendo en su mayor parte, y a finales del 1996 lo restante fue comprado por Rockwell Semiconductor y rápidamente desapareció.

(en) L'azienda informatica californiana Weitek Corporation ha operato come produttore di unità di calcolo in virgola mobile (FPU) per workstation, supercomputer e personal computer dal 1981 al 1990-1991; come produttore di GPU e chipset per schede madri tra il 1991 e il 1996. Costituitasi nel 1981, Weitek Corporation produce per tutti gli anni ottanta, FPU ad alte prestazioni sia per schede video che per CPU (MIPS e PA-RISC) di workstation e supercomputer. Per il mercato PC, Weitek produce FPU da abbinare a processori Intel quali i286, i386 e l'i486 nella versione SX. (it)
