Partner Relationship Signals Growing Need for High End Graphics for Home Entertainment Applications:

Infinium Labs will demonstrate its flagship Phantom Game Service(TM) in the
NVIDIA(R) booth (No. 35311) in the South Hall of the Convention Center during
the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Thursday – Sunday, Jan. 6 – 9, 2005, in
Las Vegas.

Infinium Labs’ selection of NVIDIA to supply graphics processing chips for the
company’s Phantom Game Service signals the emerging importance of graphics processing
in the home entertainment stack.

Infinium will incorporate NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art GeForce(TM) line of graphics
processing units (GPUs) and nForce(TM) platform processors in its Phantom Game
Service to deliver top quality graphics, cinematic gaming, and media and communication
processing performance to players of the on-demand game service, set for launch
in 2005.

“Gamers want crisp, vivid images,” said Kevin Bachus, president, Infinium
Labs. “NVIDIA’s GeForce and nForce processors will help us deliver the best
possible on-demand performance to our customers, direct to the living room.”

The Phantom Game Service will be delivered over broadband to a Windows XP Embedded-based
receiver that sits with other devices in the room where family members go for
entertainment.

The Phantom Game Service will have a presence in both the Emerging Technology
and New Form Factor areas of NVIDIA’s booth at CES.

Nearly two dozen leading game publishers have committed to provide content
for the Phantom Game Service, including Atari, Codemasters, Eidos and Vivendi
Universal.

Show attendees can also see Phantom in the Microsoft Corp. booth in the Central
Hall, No. 7145.
