Formation and Business of the Company | 1. Formation and Business of the Company Rambus Inc. (“Rambus” or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in March 1990 and reincorporated in Delaware in March 1997. Rambus is a global semiconductor company providing industry-leading chips and silicon intellectual property (“IP”) for data-intensive computing systems, focusing on data center and artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure. With over three decades of advanced semiconductor design experience, the Company is at the forefront of enabling the next era of AI-driven computing, addressing the critical challenges of signal and power integrity at increasingly extreme data rates in the data center, edge and client markets. The Company is a leader in high-performance memory subsystems, offering a balanced and diverse portfolio of product, IP and patents that maximize performance and security in computationally intensive systems. The Company provides industry-leading memory interface chips that enable the highest bandwidth, capacity and power efficient server memory modules, maximizing memory performance and reliability for the most demanding data-intensive workloads. Beyond the data center, server-class technologies are waterfalling into client devices to bring these same benefits to end-user systems, such as AI personal computers (“PCs”). The Company generates revenue by selling its semiconductor chips and licensing its IP products and inventions to market-leading companies.
