"In the third quarter of 2009, we benefited from improved demand in our Storage business, led by the continued ramp in our new 6Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip device at H-P, as well as growth in our Microprocessor business," said Greg Lang, president and chief executive officer of PMC-Sierra. "This past quarter, we achieved the highest level of non-GAAP operating income in the last nine years on revenue that was 6 percent below peak quarterly revenue last year."http://www.pmc-sierra.com
