RMI's Processor Families Provide the Ultimate in Acceleration through Advanced Interconnect Technologies



    Raza Microelectronics, Inc. (RMI(R)), a leading supplier of
    processors for communications and consumer applications announced
    today that RMI will support the broad market attach strategy of Intel
    Corporation that involves using Geneseo (next generation PCI Express*)
    technologies in the integration of RMI's XLR and XLS Processors into
    Intel-based products to provide unparalleled performance. Currently
    the high-performance acceleration capabilities of RMI's Scalable
    Processor Solutions(TM) Processor families can be integrated with an
    Intel Platform to produce solutions providing the ultimate in features
    and performance. RMI will be showcasing its XLR532 PCIX-I Card as part
    of the "Wall of Accelerators" at the Intel Developer's Forum in San
    Francisco from September 17-20, 2007.

    RMI's Scalable Processor Solutions are multi-core multi-threaded
    processors providing a rich set of features and performance to address
    the wide variety of integrated next generation applications, including
    integrated security, Web services, virtualized storage, load
    balancing, server offload and intelligent routing and switching
    systems. The XLR 700 and XLR 500 series processors are software and
    hardware compatible and each processor is available in a variety of
    power options including standard, low and ultra low power. The XLS
    Processor(TM) family consists of cost-effective devices for embedded
    communication and networking, SMB and client oriented solutions. These
    solutions include integrated security, access points, routers and
    switch products. Each device within its series is software and
    hardware compatible, and the XLS 600, 400, and 200 series processors
    are software compatible.

    Today the integrated use of an Scalable Processor Solutions
    processor with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Multi-Core processors provides best of
    class performance in many solutions such as communications and storage
    applications. By taking advantage of the packet processing
    capabilities of the RMI Scalable Processor Solutions processor with
    the compute processing capabilities of the Intel processor,
    applications can be accelerated to a new level. For example, IBM has
    used this integrated RMI/Intel architecture in their Proventia GX6116,
    which provides exceptional performance in network throughput while
    providing high-performance intrusion protection.

    For future RMI Scalable Processor Solutions, the addition of
    Geneseo (next generation PCI Express*) technologies will provide the
    next level in high performance. RMI will include this capability in
    its next generation high-end XLR Processor products, and with this,
    the full capabilities of the XLR Processor will be able to take
    advantage of the exceptional speed and low latency of the of the new
    interface.

    "The collaboration between RMI and Intel is extremely valuable and
    is a strong testament to the strength of our solutions and the
    adoption of the XLR and XLS Processors by our customers," said Lance
    Smith, vice president and general manager, Scalable Processor
    Solutions, RMI. "This collaboration will help drive future
    implementations of our products and ultimately provide our customers
    with the solutions they need to conduct their business."

    "By working with RMI, our mutual customers will be able to deploy
    advanced solutions available in the marketplace. We see the combined
    use of RMI's XLR and XLS Processors in Intel-based platforms as a way
    customers can deliver a scalable range of price and performance
    solutions, each of which provide unparalleled features and
    performance," said Anthony Neal-Graves, General Manager, marketing and
    technology solutions, Intel Corporation.
