Shares of memory designer Rambus rose as much as 12 percent today after Samsung Electronics predicted that sales of memory chips based on Rambus' designs would surge more than 10-fold in the next two years.

The shares rose $7.38 to $100 in early-afternoon trading on the Nasdaq after reaching $103.50 in the morning. They have risen almost sixfold this year.

Rambus chips boost the speed of personal computers and other devices. Samsung, a leading maker of memory chips, forecasts that industry-wide sales of Rambus-based semiconductors will climb to $38 billion by the end of 2002.

Seoul-based Samsung said the share of its memory production that uses Rambus' designs will double in 2001.

Shares of Mountain View, Calif.-based Rambus rose 9.5 percent Monday after analysts said NEC and Hitachi had joined Toshiba in agreeing to pay royalties for use of Rambus' computer-memory patents.
