The company is based in Silicon Valley , Haifa, Israel and Asia.
The name Zoran is derived from the Hebrew word for silicon .
In 1985, due to the resemblance of Zoran and Max Zorin , the villain played by Christopher Walken , in the opening credits of the James Bond film In the Face of Death , a note had to be displayed that there is no connection between Zoran and the fictional company of Max Zorin which also makes microchips.
