Rambus And Intel Sign New Comprehensive Patent Cross-License Agreement
LOS ALTOS and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 17, 2001 -- Rambus Inc.
(Nasdaq:RMBS) and Intel Corporation today signed a comprehensive patent
cross-license agreement that supersedes the prior agreement between the
companies.
The new cross-license provides complete patent coverage to Intel for all
patents while providing Rambus license coverage necessary for Rambus'
high-speed interface businesses. The agreement will have positive material
impact on Rambus' current financial quarter that Rambus will discuss during
its conference call and web cast at 6 a.m. PDT. Specific terms of the
agreement are confidential.
"We have had a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Intel," said
Geoff Tate, Rambus' chief executive officer. "As an R&D hub for high-speed
interfaces, Rambus' objective is to produce innovations that will benefit
the semiconductor and system industries, and by licensing these innovations
to generate a return on our investment to our shareholders. We believe the
RDRAM standard is the best solution for the majority of the market and our
top priority. But as evidenced by this license with Intel, we are pleased to
license our other memory, communications and backplane inventions as well."
"This broad agreement will help Intel continue to be a leader in providing
high- performance chipsets," said Craig Barrett, Intel president and chief
executive officer. "We also look forward to continued cooperation with
Rambus in the further development of RDRAM-compatible chipsets and
communications chips as well as the company's support of InfiniBand* and
future initiatives."

Intel ha paura che Rambus faccia pagare royalties pure a lei. Be', per
difendersi hanno scelto la strada che meno avremmo voluto, che c'è da
stupirsi?
Saluti.
Uno Xelloss sconfortato.

Spero comunque che le DDR siano salve!
Non credo che l'accordo rinnovi il vicolo di non
supportarle........
Boh !
Ciao.

Ma Intel già paga 10 Milioni di $ a trimestre a Rambus per le
royalties... ;-)
Ciao Mariop

 stupirsi?
Le rambus servono, specialmente se si vuole arrivare a realizzare
sistemi con bus quadruplo verso le ram che abbiano costi (quasi) "umani".

 sistemi con bus quadruplo verso le ram che abbiano costi (quasi) "umani".
Non è quello l'unico tipo di mercato in cui intel vorrebbe imporre l'uso
delle rdram...
Saluti.
Una Xelloss-precisazione.

Cioè costano quanto un uomo :o)
