SILICON IMAGE APPOINTS SAL COBAR VICE PRESIDENT OF WORLD-WIDE SALES

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2007 — Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leader in semiconductors for the secure storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content, today announced that it has promoted Sal Cobar, 53, to the position of vice president of world-wide sales. Cobar, previously senior director, strategic accounts and Americas sales, was instrumental in developing and spearheading the company’s overall strategic account sales initiatives as well as leading the Americas sales team. Reporting to Steve Tirado, Silicon Image president and chief executive officer, Cobar is responsible for building and executing the company’s world-wide sales strategy.

Cobar brings over 30 years of industry experience to his new role. Prior to joining the company five years ago, Cobar held several strategic sales and marketing positions over the course of 12 years at Sun Microsystems, Inc. In those positions, Cobar had management and executive responsibilities for engineering, operations, and the creation and execution of new markets for network-based thin client technology. Previously, he worked at Xerox Corp. for nine years driving multiple engineering and operations initiatives. Cobar earned a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from California State University, San Jose and a master’s degree in marketing from Golden Gate University, San Francisco.

“Sal has been an important contributor to our sales organization and will be a welcome and valuable addition to the executive team,” said Tirado. “Sal’s leadership skills and customer focus have made him extremely effective in identifying revenue growth opportunities and creating strategies that capitalize on our industry leading technology. Sal is recognized and highly respected in the industry throughout the world and has developed the necessary executive customer relationships to step into the vice president of world-wide sales position.”

“In today’s marketplace, understanding the customer’s needs and delivering value and innovation is critical in order to sustain differentiation and success,” said Cobar. “I am excited to join this dynamic team and help grow and execute its global sales strategy to further enable the digital consumer experience.”

Cobar replaces Rob Valiton who will be leaving the company by the end of this month to pursue another opportunity.

“I want to thank Rob for his contributions over the past seven years and wish him every success in his new endeavor,” said Tirado.
