576MB NexMod(TM) Enables Intel(R) IXP2805 Network Processor Customers to Support Up to 1.5GB Per Processor RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Viking InterWorks, Inc., a Sanmina-SCI Company (NASDAQ:SANM) and designer and manufacturer of memory modules, today announced it is currently shipping a 576MB Rambus RDRAM NexMod(TM) based on 288Mb RDRAM technology. Viking InterWorks' VRNR512ETx16xx, a 128Mx18 RDRAM NexMod(TM), is built using 16 CMOS 288Mb RDRAM devices. This multi-tiered NexMod(TM) measures 1.1" by 3.15", while maintaining the existing NexMod(TM) footprint. Development for this 576MB NexMod(TM) was initiated to address the gap left in the market following the recent end-of-life (EOL) of the 576Mb RDRAM device. "With the multitude of networking and telecommunications OEMs still requiring RDRAM as their memory solution, it is essential that we continue to support the needs of Intel's network processor customers," said Adrian Proctor, Director of Marketing for Viking InterWorks. "Our 576MB NexMod(TM) illustrates Viking InterWorks' commitment to technology innovation and customer service. Additionally, recent changes in the RDRAM market has focused Viking InterWorks to work diligently towards providing a secure and long-term supply chain for all RDRAM module products." Viking InterWorks' NexMod(TM) product family addresses the needs of customers designing space-constrained systems using the Intel(R) IXP2805 network processor. The 576MB Single-Channel NexMod(TM) is a highly cost-effective and small volumetric form-factor solution. By maintaining electrical compatibility and Rambus channel specifications, Viking InterWorks has ensured that existing system designs can be upgraded with minimal or no redesign of the host system. "Viking InterWorks' SoRIMM and NexMod(TM) RDRAM modules continue to provide high-bandwidth/high-density memory architecture options for customers of the Intel(R) IXP2805 network processor," said Steve Price, Director of Marketing for Intel's Infrastructure Processor Division. "Plus, Viking InterWorks' new high-density 576MB NexMod(TM) solution enables these customers to significantly expand their service and applications offerings." Viking InterWorks continues to support a family of RDRAM modules, including NexMod(TM) and SoRIMMs in densities ranging from 72MB to 576MB. Additionally, this module family is fully RoHS complaint (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), meeting the European Union's (EU's) Directive (2002/95/EC) that requires the removal of certain hazardous substances, including lead, from electronic components, products and assemblies by July 1, 2006.
