Rambus Announces World's Fastest Bus Technology
Multi-Level Signaling Technology Capable of Data Transfer Rate of 1.6 Gigabits per Second
HONOLULU--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 2000--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS - news), the leading provider of high bandwidth chip connection technology, today unveiled its new multi-level signaling technology during the VLSI Circuits Symposium. The Quad Rambus Signaling Level (QRSL) technology enables data transfer rates of 1.6 Gigabits per second (Gbps), twice Rambus' current signaling technology and four times the fastest demonstrated DDR SDRAM devices.
In 1992, Rambus increased the data rate of conventional signaling tenfold by increasing the clock rate by a factor of five and transferring two bits per clock cycle. The Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) accomplishes the transfer of two bits per clock cycle and is commonly referred to as double date rate (DDR) signaling technology. Today, Rambus has again pioneered high-speed signaling with its breakthrough multi-level QRSL technology. QRSL combines the patented double data rate (DDR) technology along with multi-level signaling to transfer four bits per clock cycle in order to achieve unprecedented commodity signaling rates of 1.6 Gbps, yielding 12.8 Gigabytes per second (GB/s) from a 64-bit bus.
``Toshiba has licensed QRSL from Rambus to deliver high bandwidth solutions to leading-edge consumer and communications markets,'' said Yasuo Morimoto, president and CEO, Toshiba Corporation Semiconductor Company. ``Toshiba is the leading technology supplier to these markets which continue to require ever higher performance and is looking forward to Rambus' QRSL signaling technology to meet this requirement.''
QRSL is ideal for small memory subsystems and chip-to-chip connections to solve performance bottlenecks in consumer and communications products. These applications include multi-processor interconnect in servers, line cards, networking equipment, video games, HDTV, set-top boxes, digital video recorders, and sealed box Information appliances. As the number of memory chips in PCs continues to shrink, this market will also ultimately be served by QRSL technology.
``Consumer and communications applications require even higher levels of throughput and performance than ever before,'' said Steve Cullen, Principal Analyst at InStat Research. ``Rambus' QRSL represents the most significant increase over proposed alternatives to achieve higher performance. QRSL technology enables semiconductor companies to produce lower pin count, cost-effective ICs and ASICs to meet their next-generation product requirements.''
``Our development team has produced test chips that have proven the technology is stable and producible and we are now ready to work with partners toward incorporating this signaling technology into their devices,'' said Dave Mooring, President of Rambus Inc. ``Rambus' objective is to produce innovations that will benefit the semiconductor and systems industries. We are pleased to continue our role in leading the industry in memory and chip connections technologies.''

Rambus (RMBS:Nasdaq - news) is a late-night favorite, usually moving with rambunctious volatility on little news. Tonight, though, its move was justified, and it was not just an Island ECN member, it was the president.
The chip technology developer has had a busy week. On Thursday its previously announced 4-for-1 stock split went into effect and the stock settled slightly lower.
Today it shot up a stunning 25 57/64, or 45%, after chipmaker Toshiba (TOSBF:Nasdaq - news) said it expanded its license of Rambus technology. In the agreement Rambus will receive royalty payments and a license fee. The company was also upped to a strong buy from outperform by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
The tech company's patent for its memory chip interface is behind the analyst upgrade. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst Mark Edelstone said the license agreement will likely encourage other Japanese companies to license from Rambus. Edelstone also said he expected "the semiconductor market will make a transition to Rambus technology." Toshiba has been developing, manufacturing and selling Rambus compatible IC's since 1990.
Rambus was the second-biggest percentage gainer on the Nasdaq and the most active issue both by day and night. TheStreet.com/NYTimes.com joint newsroom covered Rambus in a story earlier.
The stock is still down from its year high of 117 3/4 but well above its year low of 14 5/8. After today's run-up it was lately off 1/4 to 83 on 126,000 Island shares.

Intel To Take $200M Hit With Recall
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) is expecting to take a $200 million hit in the second quarter from costs associated with its motherboard recall, company officials said Tuesday.
The estimated charge would bring the total cost of the recall to about $253 million, Intel spokesman Tom Beermann said.
The motherboard recall, announced May 10, stems from a flaw with a component that allowed computer makers to use standard computer memory instead of the costly Rambus-based memory.

The flaw can cause computers to crash or reset, Intel said.
As part of the recall, Intel is giving users new motherboards stocked with the more expensive Rambus-based memory.
Beermann said Intel's estimates of the recall charge is based on the return rate of the flawed product. He would not disclose the rate.
Also Tuesday, Intel announced it expects to net $2.3 billion from stock earnings in the second quarter, up from the company's previous projection of $725 million. A significant source of the massive capital gains is the sale of shares in memory maker Micron Technologies.
Beermann would not give details about the company's changes in Micron holdings.
He said the impetus behind Intel's stock sales was unrelated to the recall charge. ``From time to time, we capitalize on our investments,'' he said.
Intel's second-quarter results will be announced July 18.

Ich kann es mir wirklich nicht vorstellen, daß Rambus sich mit den Dingern durchsetzen wird. In einem Jahr werden wir wohl schon etwas klüger sein, schauen wir mal, ich laße mich gerne überraschen :)
Wer es noch nicht mitbekommen hat: Wie schnell sich RDRAM durchsetzt ist für den Rambus-Aktienkurs jetzt völlig egal!
Rambus kassiert jetzt auch für SDRAM und DDR-SDRAM von Toshiba und Hitachi. Es wird erwartet, daß sich die meisten, wenn nicht alle Chip-Hersteller dieser Regelung anschließen werden. Rambus kassiert für SDRAM und DDR-SDRAM sogar höhere Gebühren als für das eigene RDRAM.

Rambus strong in Europe pre-Wall
Micron Technology Inc. (NYSE:MU - news), the world's second-biggest maker of computer memory chips, also saw trade in Europe after posting better-than-expected profits buoyed by a surge in semiconductor sales.
The company announced net income of $275 million, or 47 cents versus market expectations of 34 cents a share, prompting trade at up to $88 versus its $84-13/16 close to Nasdaq trading.Friday June 23, 6:48 am Eastern Time
Hi AL,
wenn ich das richtig verstehe, heißt daß, das Rambus so gestiegen ist, weil
Micron Technology über den Erwartungen gut verdient hat; die Nachricht über die Patent-Streit-Beilegung war doch schon vorher bekannt, der Anstieg kam erst nach Wallstreet-Schluß.
Auf jeden Fall eine Super-Aktie, mit so einem Anstieg hatte ich nicht gerechnet, bin im Schnitt mit 195 Euro, vor Split, dabei...
Hier noch eine News:
Rambus strong in Europe pre-Wall St start
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - Shares in Rambus Inc. (NasdaqNM:RMBS - news) retained much of their overnight gains in early European trade on Friday following the company's patent licensing deal with computer memory supplier Hitachi Ltd. .
Rambus shares soared to $138-3/4 in furious after-the-bell business in New York, up from their regular close at $97-1/8, having secured a patent deal seen as putting added pressure on other chip makers to strike similar royalty deals with Rambus.
European trade saw the stock change hands at $133-15/16, dealers said.
Patchy trade elsewhere left dealers subdued ahead of the full U.S. session.
``We will just consolidate today. Nobody's going to make any rash decisions before the weekend and next week's decision by the Fed,'' said one London dealer.
A majority of Wall Street traders believe the central bank will leave interest rates unchanged at its policy-setting meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday though a growing number see a hike at the Fed's Aug. 22 meeting.
The Fed wants to strike a balance between a too-hot economy leading to inflation and a too-slow economy creating unemployment and hurting corporate profits.
Index futures indicated a mildly positive start for Wall Street's Dow Jones Industrial average, which ended Thursday down 1.16 percent at 10,376, with September S&P futures last trading at 1478, six or so points above fair value.
Futures for the tech-laden Nasdaq, which dropped 3.13 percent on Thursday, were 7.5 points higher at 3,870.
