Exhibit 99.1

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 20, 2011 -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Third Quarter 2011 Highlights:
Revenue increased 10.8% sequentially to $17.4 million
Achieved second consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations
New product revenue was up 21.2% sequentially and 33.3% year over year
Ramped production volumes of the PA136 MotionEngine® Video Processor for advanced TV
Began sampling the new PA138 for 240Hz advanced TV
Further expanded design win momentum for the Topaz family of projector products
Third quarter 2011 revenue increased 10.8% sequentially to $17.4 million, compared to $15.7 million reported in the second quarter of 2011 and $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. The sequential increase was primarily driven by higher sales of new products and the continued ramping of advanced TV design wins secured in previous quarters.
On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2011 was 48.6%, up from 47.3% in the second quarter of 2011 and 46.0% in the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 GAAP operating expenses were $9.6 million, compared with $9.2 million in the previous quarter and $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the third quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.13 per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and GAAP net income of $7,000, or $0.00 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.
On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2011 gross profit margin was 49.4%, up from 48.3% in the second quarter of 2011 and 46.1% in the third quarter of 2010, driven by increased overhead absorption and a continued focus on product cost improvement. Third quarter 2011 operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were $9.1 million, compared to $8.7 million in the previous quarter and $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss in the third quarter of 2011 was $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.09 per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.
“I am pleased to report another quarter of sequential revenue growth and our second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, driven by the achievement of record revenue for our new products which increased 33% year over year and 21% sequentially,” said Bruce Walicek, President and CEO of Pixelworks. “We continued to gain momentum with our products for the advanced TV market, which grew 102% year over year, as we further increased our penetration at tier-one TV manufacturers.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release makes reference to non-GAAP gross profit margins, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share which exclude restructuring charges, amortization of acquired developed technology, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of patents, gain on the sale of marketable securities and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty, all of which are required under GAAP. The press release also reconciles GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA which Pixelworks defines as GAAP net income before interest expense and other, net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, as well as the specific items listed above. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful perspective on the Company's core operating results and underlying cash flow dynamics, but cautions investors to consider these measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, its consolidated financial results as presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included in this earnings release which is available in the investor relations section of the Company's website.




Safe Harbor Statement
This release contains statements, including, without limitation, the statements in Bruce Walicek's quote and the "Business Outlook for 2011 Fourth Quarter" section above, that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of this release, including any projections of revenue or other financial items or any statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company's business. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results could vary materially from those contained in forward looking statements due to many factors, including, without limitation: our ability to deliver new products in a timely fashion; our new product yield rates; changes in estimated product costs; product mix; supply of products from third-party foundries; failure or difficulty in achieving design wins; timely customer transition to new product designs; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, introduction or traction by competing designs, or pricing pressures; the success of our products in expanded markets; current global economic challenges; levels of inventory at distributors and customers; changes in the digital display and projection markets; changes in customer ordering patterns or lead times; seasonality in the consumer electronics market; our efforts to achieve profitability from operations; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory and variations in inventory valuation; the outcome of any litigation related to our intellectual property rights; and our lower cash position as a result of our debt repurchases. More information regarding potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially is included from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequent SEC filings.
The forward-looking statements contained in this release speak as of the date of this release, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

* Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share differs from GAAP gross profit, GAAP operating expenses, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share due to the exclusion of gain on the sale of patents, gain on the sale of marketable securities, restructuring charges, amortization of acquired developed technology, stock-based compensation expense and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty. Pixelworks' management believes the presentation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks' results of operations by allowing investors to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks' management also uses each of these non-GAAP measures internally to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP financial measures.

Pixelworks' management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks' results of operations by allowing investors to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics and core operating results and are used by Pixelworks' management for these purposes. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP financial measures.
