MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- A report on the chip sector by SG Cowen Wednesday sent shares of Rambus tumbling by more than 11 percent.

The chipmaker closed down 9 1/2 to 75 1/2.

In a research note, SG Cowen noted that Intel (INTC: news, msgs) has reversed its course on tying its Pentium 4 chips to Rambus (RMBS: news, msgs) memory. Intel is working on pairing the chip set with DDR DRAM, said the analyst.

Rambus was a major loser on the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index for much of the day, helping fuel the index's 6.3 percent slide to 1,034.20.



Shares got a slight boost after Morgan Stanley Dean Witter stepped in with its own report praising Rambus' stock.

Analyst Mark Edelston said Intel still views Rambus DRAMs as the best long-term solution for the technology market. He maintained his "strong buy" rating on Rambus.
