99.1 Press Release of Vicor Corporation dated July 30, 2007

Vicor Corporation Preliminary Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

ANDOVER, MA -- 07/30/2007 -- Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported its preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2007 ended June 30, 2007.

Revenues for the quarter decreased to $47,522,000 compared to $49,210,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net loss for Q2 was $519,000, or $.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,874,000, or $.07 per diluted share, in Q2 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 revenues decreased to $94,503,000 from $97,082,000 for the same period of 2006. The Company reported net income for the period of $1,883,000, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5,950,000 or $.14 per diluted share in 2006.

Gross margin decreased to 41.8% in Q2 2007 from 42.9% in Q2 2006 and decreased on a sequential basis from 43.1% in Q1 2007 due, in part, to a write off of certain manufacturing equipment and product mix. The book-to-bill ratio for Q2 2007 was 1.08:1 as compared to 1.00:1 in Q1 2007. Backlog at the end of Q2 2007 was $40.4 million as compared to $36.4 million at the end of 2006.

During the second quarter, the Company settled its reset patent litigation action against the remaining defendants for $1,593,000, net of settlement expenses. This gain is reported in Loss (gain) from litigation-related settlement, net. The reset patent expired in 2002.

The Company's financial results are considered preliminary and subject to change based upon the final accounting of investments made by the Company in a related party, and the accounting for a potential loss related to the Concurrent Computer Corporation ("Concurrent") litigation discussed below. During Q2 2007, the Company made an additional investment of $1 million in the related party and agreed to a further investment of $1 million if certain conditions are met. The additional investment will require the Company to account for this investment under the equity method of accounting and to retroactively restate its previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect the equity method of accounting in prior periods. The preliminary financial results presented herein include an additional charge to Other income (expense), net of $840,000 during Q2 2007 to reflect the Company's preliminary estimate of the decline in value related to its additional $1 million investment. The Company is waiting for certain financial information from the related party in order to properly record its investment under the equity method of accounting and the Company is performing additional valuation analyses to determine if any further adjustment in its investment is required due to other than temporary declines in value.

During the second quarter, the Company accrued $2.35 million for a potential loss related to its ongoing litigation with Concurrent, which is reported in Loss (gain) from litigation-related settlement, net. The Company is currently in mediation with Concurrent and is seeking potential recovery from its insurance carriers for any loss sustained from this litigation. As a result of the uncertainties surrounding this matter, the $2.35 million estimated loss recorded by the Company is considered preliminary and may change prior to the Company filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Commenting on the second quarter, Vicor's CEO Patrizio Vinciarelli noted: "Brick bookings improved approximately 6% sequentially while V-I Chip bookings grew over 100%. We also achieved record V-I Chip shipments with essentially 100% on time delivery and manufacturing yields."

Vinciarelli went on to say: "V-I Chip is accelerating its pace of new design wins with early adopters and gaining broader acceptance within its target markets. Bookings have been ahead of plan and we are expanding capacity with incremental investments in equipment."

Depreciation and amortization in Q2 2007 was approximately $2.9 million and capital additions were $1.0 million. For the first six months of 2007 depreciation and amortization was $6.0 million and capital additions were $3.1 million. This compares to $7.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2006. Cash and short-term investments increased by $6.0 million to approximately $82.7 million at the end of Q2 2007 from $76.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2007. There were no share repurchases during Q2 2007 and at the end of the quarter there was approximately $8.5 million remaining in the authorized stock buy-back plan.

In 2007, the tax provision is based on the estimated effective tax rate for 2007, which includes estimated federal and state income taxes for certain minority-owned subsidiaries that are not part of the Company's consolidated income tax returns, estimated income taxes due in various state and international taxing jurisdictions and increases in accrued interest for potential liabilities. The expense was partially offset by a discrete item representing refunds of interest received and recorded as a benefit during the first quarter of 2007 as final settlement related to the audit of the Company's federal tax returns for tax years 1994 though 2002 by the Internal Revenue Service.

On July 25, 2007, Vicor's Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $.15 per share payable on August 30, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2007. The Board of Directors anticipates reviewing its dividend policy on a semi-annual basis. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board and depend on actual cash from operations, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements and any other factors the Company's Board of Directors may consider relevant.
