Advanced Validation Labs Announces 256Mb RDRAM Validation Services; Validation Services Now Rambus-Certified for Next-Generation RDRAM Story Filed: Wednesday, June 21, 2000 4:11 PM EST FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jun 21, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Advanced Validation Labs Inc. (AVL) announced today that it has received certification by Rambus(R) Inc. to provide validation testing services for 256 Megabit (Mb) ECC and non-ECC RDRAM(R) devices. This new service complements the existing Rambus validation services presently offered by AVL, ranging from RDRAM, RDRAM RLC through RIMM(TM) Module System Validation services. "With the new validation services, AVL is prepared to support the semiconductor industry's introduction of next-generation 256Mb RDRAM devices," said Larry Ho, Director of Technical Labs, AVL. "Once again, this announcement is in tune with AVL's strategy to provide complete memory validation services for the latest memory technologies." "Advanced Validation Labs has already conducted the first validation of 256 Mb RDRAM devices to support the market ramp of 256 Mb RDRAM technology in 2000," commented Laura Fleming, Vice President, Alliances and Infrastructure at Rambus Inc. "Customers can take advantage of the 256Mb granularity to ship 64MB systems with just two RDRAM devices." "AVL is grateful to Rambus Inc. for the close engineering support which was critical in ensuring the quick availability of this new validation service," further stated Ho. Using AVL-validated 256Mb RDRAM devices, semiconductor manufacturers and memory module manufacturers can build Rambus RIMM modules ranging from 128MB up to 512 MB.
