Right now, nothing would surprise me. I have to say that Cirrus was NOT one of the companies I was expecting.

Worth investigating...Are you long Cirrus (just checking)?

Re: Cirrus & Chromatics

Cirrus exited the 3D graphics business earlier this year. Their Laguna part (which used Concurrent Rambus) was not generally successful although it was used on an Intel motherboard.

developer.intel.com

Chromatics had a mediaprocessor called Mpact with 2 ports of Concurrent Rambus that was developed in conjuction with LG Semicon, Toshiba, and ST. This product did not take off either. Chromatics was recently sold to ATI. techweb.com

Both are discontinued products that provided little royalty revenue to Rambus although it's certainly appropriate to note the lack of revenue in this reporting period.
