Rambus Announces Complete Ddr5 9600 Client Memory Module Chipset for Cudimm and Csodimm Modules Rambus Inc. announced its complete DDR5 9600 Client Memory Module Chipset for high-performance CUDIMM, CQDIMM and CSODIMM modules in future generation AI PCs. The chipset includes the new Gen2 Client Clock Driver (CKD02), delivering breakthrough performance with support for PC memory module operation of up to 9600 MT/s, Power Management IC (PMIC5120) and Serial Presence Detect Hub (SPD Hub). With the rise of agentic AI, PCs now plan, execute, and adapt workflows in real time. These workloads require persistent context, concurrent processing, and continuous data movement between the processor and system memory requiring significant increases in both bandwidth and capacity. At the same time, scaling DDR5 memory beyond 6400 MT/s introduces new technical challenges, including signal degradation, clock jitter, and timing instability. To address these challenges, the industry is transitioning to clocked memory modules, including CUDIMM and CQDIMM for desktops and CSODIMM for laptops, which incorporate an on-module client clock driver (CKD) to condition and redistribute the clock signal. The new Rambus DDR5 9600 Client Chipset provides a complete solution for clocked DDR5 modules operating from 8000 to 9600 MT/s. Designed for performance and scalability, the chipset supports next-generation AI PCs, notebooks, and workstations. By addressing signal integrity, power delivery, and system coordination at the module level, Rambus simplifies the design and deployment of high-performance memory module solutions. The Rambus DDR5 9600 Client Chipset supporting high-bandwidth, high-capacity, clocked client memory modules and includes: Gen2 Client Clock Driver retimes, conditions and distributes the clock sent from the processor to the DRAM devices on the DIMM; PMIC5120 efficiently steps down the system voltage supply to the voltage levels needed to power the DRAM and all other active chips on the module; SPD Hub enables communication of module identification, configuration, and telemetry.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$1.9m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$1.9m sold). Announcement • May 08

Rambus Inc. Unveils Complete Chipsets for Next-Generation DDR5 RDIMMs and RDIMMs to Deliver Breakthrough Performance for Data Center and AI Rambus Inc. unveiled industry-first, complete memory interface chipsets for Gen5 DDR5 RDIMMs and next-generation DDR5 Multiplexed Rank Dual Inline Memory Modules (MRDIMMs). These innovative new products for RDIMMs and MRDIMMs will seamlessly extend DDR5 performance with unparalleled bandwidth and memory capacity for compute-intensive data center and AI workloads. The new Rambus chips include: The Gen5 Registering Clock Driver (RCD), enabling RDIMMs operating at 8000 megatransfers per second (MT/s). The Multiplexed Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) and Multiplexed Data Buffer (MDB), enabling upcoming MRDIMMs running at speeds up to 12,800 MT/s by doubling the bandwidth of the DIMM beyond the native DRAM device speed. The second-generation server Power Management IC (PMIC5030) designed for both DDR5 RDIMM 8000 and MRDIMM 12800, providing ultra-high current at low voltage to support higher speeds and more DRAM and logic chips per module. Enabling flexible and scalable end-user server configuration, the DDR5 RDIMM 8 and industry-standard MRDIMM 12800 utilize a common architecture with compatibility across server platforms. The DDR5 RDIMM 8000 chipset includes the Gen5 RCD, PMIC5030, Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Hub and Temperature Sensor (TS) chips. The DDR5 MRDIMM 12800 chipset includes the MRCD and MDB, as well as the same PMIC5030, SPD Hub and TS chips utilized in the RDIMM 8800. The DDR5 MRDIMM 12800 employs a novel and efficient module design that boosts data transfer rates and system performance by multiplexing two ranks of DRAM, effectively interleaving the two data streams. This allows the host memory bus to run at twice the data rate of the native DRAM devices, thus increasing bandwidth while using the same physical connections of DDR5 RDIMM 12800. This requires an MRCD that can address the two ranks of DRAMs on alternative clock cycles, as well as MDBs to direct the data stream to and from the correct DRAM devices. Each DDR5 RDIMM 12 800 requires one MRCD and ten MDB chips to multiplex the memory channel. The MRCD and MDB will also support a Tall MRDIMM form factor with four ranks of DDR5 DRAMs for double the capacity of a dual- rank RDIMM in a cost-effective manner. The Gen5 RCD, MRCD, MRCD, MDB and PMIC5030 are part of the growing Rambus portfolio of memory interface and power management solutions including Gen1 to Gen4 RCD, Client Clock Driver (CKD), Server PMIC, SPD Hub, and TS chips.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 30% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future.
