Netlist Awarded Patent For Proprietary Planar-X Technology
Planar-X Technology Enables 32GB Capacities for RDIMM Modules with Standard DRAM
IRVINE, CA (October 13, 2010) - Netlist, Inc. (NASDAQ: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued to Netlist Patent No. 7,811,097 entitled, "Circuit with Flexible Portion," for its Planar-X innovation. Through the use of innovative circuit design, Planar-X provides additional board space for a large number of DRAM components. This enables Netlist customers, using Planar-X, to achieve higher capacity RDIMM modules at a lower cost. Planar-X can also be used to develop high performance modules when combined with Netlist's HyperCloud™ technology. Planar-X modules are JEDEC compatible and plug into standard server memory slots. JEDEC is an independent semiconductor engineering trade organization and standardization body. "Planar-X will be a key component to delivering 32GB RDIMM solutions using standard 2Gb DRAM technology available today," said Steve McClure, vice president of marketing at Netlist. "This achievement, combined with our HyperCloud technology, highlights the strength of Netlist's intellectual property position supporting innovative products addressing virtualization, cloud datacenters and high performance computing memory requirements."
