Rambus and Amphenol TCS Honored With 2006 DesignCon Paper Award
LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES – 01/31/2007 – Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), one of the world’s premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed memory architectures, and Amphenol TCS (ATCS), the industry leader in high-speed, high-density connection systems, today announced that their collaboration on a 2006 DesignCon paper titled “Practical Design Considerations for 10 to 25 Gbps Copper Backplane Serial Links” has been recognized with the “DesignCon Paper Award”. The award was presented at a ceremony today during the DesignCon 2007 event at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California.
The award-winning paper, presented in the System Level Design category, outlined the collaborative effort between Rambus and Amphenol, who combined their expertise to address how future high-speed data rate requirements of backplane serial links could be met. The paper examined the practical and cost effective design aspects of 10-12.5 Gbps high-speed serial links and explored the feasibility and requirements for the next generation of serial links operating in the 20-25 Gbps range.
“For more than a decade, DesignCon has delivered technical content and practical solutions for enhancing system designs, backed with the assurance of industry expertise,” said Barry Sullivan, director, International Engineering Consortium. “We are pleased to recognize industry leaders like Amphenol and Rambus, who shared their knowledge and experience to enhance our conference program with their award-winning paper.”
Organized by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC), DesignCon serves as the premier annual event for practicing engineers in the electrical design and semiconductor communities.

Rambus Achieves Record Revenue For The Year
Fourth quarter revenue of $51.7 million, up 24% from last year; Company provides update on NASDAQ listing
LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES – 01/24/2007 – Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), one of the world’s premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed memory architectures, today reported revenue results for the fourth quarter of 2006. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $51.7 million, up 24% over the fourth quarter last year. For the full year, revenue was $194.2 million, up 24% from 2005. These increases were primarily driven by new patent licensing revenues from agreements announced during fiscal 2006.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the year were $436.3 million, an increase of $81 million from a year ago.
“We achieved another record quarter and a record year with strong revenue growth. We also had excellent operating performance and ended the year with a solid cash balance,” said Harold Hughes, president and chief executive officer at Rambus. “Our recent license agreement with Qimonda reflects our continued focus on developing and delivering world-class architecture designs that are valued by our customers. Our XDR™ memory architecture is an advanced memory design that enables superior performance for many of today’s computing and digital entertainment applications.”
Due to the continuing internal investigation of past stock option granting practices, Rambus will not be releasing fourth quarter earnings today.
Update on NASDAQ Listing
Rambus has determined that it will not complete its financial restatement by the February 9, 2007 extension deadline granted by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). The Panel’s most recent decision indicated that it lacked the discretion under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to grant a further extension and that, therefore, if Rambus is unable to make the filings by the deadline, its securities will be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Select Market effective February 12, 2007, unless the NASDAQ Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) determines to stay the Panel’s decision. In that regard, Rambus has asked the Listing Council to stay the Panel’s decision. There can, however, be no assurance that the Listing Council will determine to grant the stay.
The conference call discussing fourth quarter revenue results and further details on the Company’s financial restatement will be available live via the Rambus website (http://investor.rambus.com) at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. The call will be webcast and can be accessed through the Rambus website. A replay will be available following the call on Rambus’ Investor Relations website or for one week at the following numbers: (888) 203-1112 (domestic) or (719) 457-0820 (international) with ID# 2814941.
