Los Altos and Santa Clara, California, United States - 09/17/2001 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."
