Answers Industry Demand for Increasing Memory Retrieval Speeds
DALLAS, Ore., April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Praegitzer Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGTZ) today announced a commitment to the Direct RDRAM memory technology program to design, prototype and produce printed circuit boards (PCBs) in volume. Praegitzer has already successfully supplied Intel with boards for testing and validation of the Direct RDRAM memory technology products.
"Direct RDRAM technology is pushing many other technologies in the platform," said Peter MacWilliams, Intel fellow and director of platform architecture for the Intel Architecture Labs. "We are pleased to see Praegitzer Industries stepping up to the challenge of delivering enhanced PCB technology at today's costs."
"Leading-edge PCB design is more challenging than ever before because of the increasingly high speeds of system buses and high-speed memory interfaces, and the implications that these designs have on manufacturability," said Matt Bergeron, president and COO of Praegitzer Industries, Inc. "Praegitzer is able to meet these challenges, which benefits our partners and customers. We expect that the Direct RDRAM program will profit from our integrated solution on multiple levels of service, including design, quick-turn, preproduction and volume manufacturing. We look forward to providing the Direct RDRAM program with our leading-edge expertise."
Praegitzer anticipates achieving a competitive high-volume manufacturing capability in support of the Direct RDRAM program, while maintaining quality and accuracy standards that exceed the demands of Praegitzer customers.
Praegitzer plans to expand its volume manufacturing capabilities for the Direct RDRAM RIMM products in Asia-Pacific. The company is committed to producing and supporting prototype, preproduction and volume requirements for the Direct RDRAM RIMM modules, including assisting in the development of an industry supply base for the products.
