Off to the races again. Now if only Hitachi would given in. ******************************* Wednesday April 5, 1:22 pm Eastern Time Rambus technology wins network equipment clients MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 5 (Reuters) - High-speed memory technology maker Rambus Inc. (NasdaqNM:RMBS - news) said on Wednesday its technology was selected by network equipment providers and the companies making their chips. Rambus' memory technology, which has been used to remove performance bottlenecks in computers and consumer systems, is now needed in network routers and switches, Rambus said. Network application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and processors require high-speed memory devices and modules to meet the exponential growth in data traffic over the Internet and other networks, Rambus said. Rambus ASIC partners include Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP - news) International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news), LSI Logic Corp. (NYSE:LSI - news), NEC Corp. , Texas Instruments Inc. (NYSE:TXN - news) and Toshiba Corp. . Additionally, several companies, such as Extreme Packet Devices Inc., Orologic Corp., Sitera Inc. and SwitchCore AB, are developing or sampling Rambus-based products for network processor solutions. Rambus also identified several of the hottest up-and-coming suppliers of semiconductors for new high-speed network equipment as users of its technology, and some of them are in the process of being acquired by other companies. For example, Extreme Packet Devices, a maker of chips used in high-speed communications devices, agreed to be acquired by communications chip maker PMC-Sierra Inc. (NasdaqNM:PMCS - news) of Burnaby, Canada. Also, Orologic, which makes chips for use in high-speed telecommunications networks, last week agreed to be acquired by Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (NasdaqNM:VTSS - news). Among the other up-and-coming firms Rambus identified are Sitera of San Jose, Calif., a maker of high-speed network processor chips, and SwitchCore of Lund, Sweden, which offers an ultra high-capacity switch for Internet communications. Separately the company announced the availability of a high-speed, 3.125 billion bit per second technology for pumping data on and off in network equipment.
