tim,
you are right he missed two 5 point moves today.
CYPRESS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1999--Foxconn
International Inc., a leading manufacturer of connectors for the
computer, communication and consumer industries, Tuesday announced the signing of an agreement with Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS.O) to develop Rambus(R) RIMM(TM) Connectors and has plans to offer RIMM Continuity Modules and module heat spreaders for Rambus memory systems.
Foxconn will be the first supplier to offer "one stop shopping" for complete hardware support of both 168-pin and 184-pin RIMM Modules. Foxconn plans to be in full production in time to support shipments of performance desktop PCs with Rambus technology in the end of Q3 1999.
"The addition of the leading Taiwanese connector supplier to the growing family of Rambus infrastructure providers to the PC industry is significant," said Subodh Toprani, general manager and vice president of Industry Enabling Division at Rambus Inc. "Foxconn's strong worldwide presence will reassure PC OEMs of an ample supply of infrastructure components to enable their volume ramp."
"Foxconn will provide our customers with timely, cost effective, and volume resources for the Foxconn RIMM connector family of products in Fall of 1999, thus assuring a successful launch of Rambus memory components into the PC market," said Caesar Chen, general manager, Foxconn Inc.
Designed for high volume applications, RDRAM(R) devices use
conventional DRAM cores, silicon fabrication techniques and memory modules. Rambus memory modules, called RIMM Modules, use standard industry assemblies similar to those of today's dual in-line memory modules. For PC main memory, a Rambus memory system will fit within the same physical, power and thermal profiles of a similarly configured 100-MHz synchronous DRAM memory system.
