Orologic Utilizes Two 800MHz Rambus Channels to Provide the Highest Performance Networking Solution in the Industry MORRISVILLE, N.C., Oct 4, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Orologic, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops, and markets application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for sale to network equipment vendors, today announced that are using two 800MHz Rambus(R) Channels in their next generation network processing core product. "The use of the Rambus interfaces allows us to significantly reduce the total system cost without sacrificing functionality or performance," said Raif Onvural, president of OroLogic, Inc. Orologic will offer the industry's only single chip cell/packet switching solution with OC-48 (2.4Gbit/sec) data throughput and true QoS guarantees. "The increase in bandwidth Rambus technology provides will enable a new generation of high performance packet processing ICs from leading edge companies like OroLogic," stated Subodh Toprani, vice president and general manager, Rambus Inc. Rambus technology enables the DRAM industry's highest level of performance to date - 1.6 gigabytes per second of peak bandwidth from a single device and will span multiple generations of DRAM devices (through 1 Gbit densities.) The Rambus DRAMs deliver the highest bandwidth from a single memory device from a low pin-count interface, and at reasonable power dissipation levels. Designed for high volume applications, RDRAM devices use conventional DRAM cores and silicon fabrication techniques. About Rambus Inc. Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), based in Mountain View, Calif., develops and licenses high-speed chip-to-chip interface technology that enables semiconductor memory devices to keep pace with faster generations of processors and controllers. Providers of Rambus-based integrated circuits include the world's leading DRAM, ASIC and PC controller manufacturers. Currently, eight of the world's top-10 semiconductor companies license Rambus technology. More information on Rambus Inc. and its high-bandwidth interface technology is available at rambus.com .
