NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NETL), the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today announced that it has been ranked by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP as the 59th fastest growing company and the 5th fastest growing semiconductor company in North America. Deloitte's 2006 Technology Fast 500 ranks the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001 to 2005. NetLogic Microsystems achieved an impressive growth rate of 3,964 percent during this period.

"Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment, and is more impressive than ever because of increased competition and tightening of discretionary spending in today's business environment," said Tony Kern, deputy managing principal of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. "We applaud NetLogic Microsystems for its efforts, ingenuity and teamwork in becoming one of the fastest growing companies in North America."

NetLogic Microsystems' revenue grew from $2.0 million in 2001 to $81.8 million in 2005.
