ted, CSCO's comments about flash. Shouldn't CSCO be happy? It should be a good thing for AMD. amd.com AMD ANNOUNCES FLASH MEMORY AGREEMENT WITH CISCO SYSTEMS SUNNYVALE, CA--MARCH 1, 2000--AMD, the recipient of the 1999 Cisco Semiconductor Supplier of the Year award, announced today an agreement to supply Cisco Systems with the majority of their flash memory devices requirements over the next three years. These devices will be used to store sophisticated code and data for most of the networking systems offered by Cisco. The agreement augments a relationship that has grown significantly over recent years due to AMD's steadfast commitment to support Cisco and its product requirements. "We chose AMD flash memory products because of their unparalleled high reliability and AMD's commitment to a seamless upgrade path to higher densities," said Mike Campi, vice president of Cisco's Global Supply Management group. "This agreement acknowledges AMD's leadership AMD as a leader in flash memory technology and positions AMD as a significant provider of flash memory devices to Cisco." "We are privileged and pleased to have been chosen by the worldwide leader in the networking industry, to provide nearly all of the flash memory devices for products that enable the Internet information highway," said Walid Maghribi, group vice president of AMD's Memory Group. "This agreement extends beyond the standard customer / vendor paradigm. Rather, AMD and Cisco have forged a true partnership designed to create a mutually beneficial relationship."
