Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Vicor's third quarter operating performance reflected generally soft demand and delayed shipments of datacenter solutions due to customer migration to Intel's next generation VR13 processor, now due to ramp in Q3 2016. While revenues from our 48 Volt solutions to VR13 applications have been delayed, this has enabled us to expand our VR13 customer base in datacenters, networking and high end computing applications. We are also making progress toward substantial design wins in other major markets, including automotive. Our roll-out of new SiP (System in Package) and ChiP (Converter housed in Package™) modules for motherboard applications, complemented by new ChiP and VIA (Vicor Integrated Adapter™) front-end systems, is expected to continue at an accelerating pace into 2016 and should set the stage for significant revenue growth."
