                         ("CELOXICA" OR "THE COMPANY")

               CELOXICA ACCELERATION CARDS QUALIFIED IN HP SERVERS

    Qualification of Celoxica Hardware Expands Accelerated Computing Market
                                 Opportunities

Celoxica Holdings plc (AIM: CXA) - a leading provider of electronic system level
design technology for the Accelerated Computing and Embedded Systems markets, is
pleased to announce that the Company's RCHTX acceleration board has passed HP
qualification tests, expanding the opportunities for Celoxica's hardware in the
Accelerated Computing market. The board is now available for integration in HP
ProLiant DL145 G3 server-based HP Unified Cluster Portfolio solutions for
high-performance computing.

Celoxica's RCHTX board, available immediately in volume production, is a plug-in
acceleration card for high-performance servers. The Company is working with HP
and other server partners to provide power-efficient acceleration technology
that increases system performance, scalability and flexibility. Celoxica is also
in collaboration with AMD's Torrenza Initiative to optimize
accelerator-to-processor communication speeds. The RCHTX card fits in a
HyperTransport(TM)(HTX) socket on the HP ProLiant DL145 server and employs the
HTX interface standard to provide rapid communication between a Xilinx
Virtex-4(TM)FPGA co-processor and AMD's Opteron(TM) processors.

Celoxica accelerator technology is used in the Financial Services, Energy and
Life Sciences industries to speed performance of mission critical applications.
In deployment of customer applications, the Company has achieved acceleration
rates of more than 30x over existing server implementations. In addition to the
RCHTX acceleration hardware, the Celoxica solution includes compilation tools
that enable software programming of customer applications on the FPGA
co-processor. At the High Performance on Wall Street Conference in New York on
17 September, the Company is demonstrating an accelerated financial application
running on the HP ProLiant DL145 server with an RCHTX accelerator.

Lee Staines, chief executive of Celoxica commented, "We believe that Celoxica's
acceleration solutions provide a unique advantage in programmability, power
efficiency and performance. The qualification of Celoxica hardware by HP is a
critical milestone in the development and growth of the market for FPGA-based
accelerators. Customers can purchase these accelerator cards with confidence
that the technology has been proven by the leading server OEM."

Ty Rabe, director of research and development, High Performance Computing, HP
said, "The qualification of the RCHTX hardware on the HP ProLiant DL145 server
provides another option for HP customers who are interested in adding
acceleration co-processors to their high performance computing environments.The
ability to support accelerators such as Celoxica's RCHTX extends application
performance to new levels, and provides users an alternative for dealing with
power constrained environments. This collaboration shows the advantages of HP's
flexible and scalable server architecture to provide industry-leading
performance."

Doug O'Flaherty, division marketing manager for Accelerated Computing, AMD
NYSE: AMD), adds, "With the deployment of their integrated acceleration
hardware, Celoxica is delivering tangible results from the Torrenza Initiative
to the benefit of AMD customers. Torrenza represents the industry's first open,
customer-centric x86 innovation platform based on the Direct Connect
Architecture and the AMD64 platform to enable other processor providers to
innovate within a common ecosystem. AMD is dedicated to driving open innovation,
choice and industry growth by offering superior solutions for customers and
businesses worldwide."
