Business Review

In our Memory and Interfaces Division, we continue to demonstrate our technology leadership with the announcement of the industry’s first functional silicon of a server DIMM buffer chipset capable of achieving the speeds expected for next-generation DDR5. This represented an important milestone for both the company and the market, as it puts Rambus in a leadership position and provides an early path to market readiness and adoption for future data center solutions. The IP cores team extended its portfolio of high-speed interfaces for data center and enterprise applications with the addition of 16G and 30G SerDes IP cores on GLOBALFOUNDRIES 14nm FX-14™ ASIC platform. In addition, and as part of the ongoing ecosystem development to ease integration and accelerate adoption, we validated the interoperability of our memory PHYs with Northwest Logic and ARM memory controllers.

Our Security Division, which consists of our cryptography, mobile payments and smart ticketing businesses, had a strong quarter with the Cryptography team demonstrating the CryptoManager IoT Security Service on a leading cloud platform to enable secure device connectivity, monitoring and provisioning. In addition, we announced Cryptography will partner with SciFive to make our cryptography technology available for the SciFive Freedom platform, easing the path to designing innovative and cost-effective SoCs in the open and growing RISC-V hardware ecosystem. For mobile payments, we continue to gain traction for our tokenization solutions, teaming with eftpos, a leading debit card network in Australia, to support the roll out of Apple Pay to their debit card users with our Token Service Provider software.
