Monday January 6, 4:33 pm ET

LOS ALTOS, Calif. Jan 6 (Reuters) - Rambus Inc. (NasdaqNM:RMBS - News), a maker of computer memory acceleration technology, on Monday said it had signed new agreements with Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp.

Terms of the deals are confidential, Rambus said in a statement. The company plans to hold a Webcast conference call to discuss the deals at 4:30 pm EST/2130 GMT.

A Sony official signaled that the deal involving two Rambus memory technologies, code-named "Yellowstone" and "Redwood" could be used in a variety of future Sony products, building on Sony's existing use of Rambus technology in its PlayStation 2.

"The use of Direct Rambus technology in PlayStation 2 was essential for its performance," said Ken Kutaragi, president and chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "Rambus is and will be the key player in the ultra high-speed interface technology.

Sony is working with partners Toshiba and IBM on a powerful new processor for home electronics with ultra-fast Internet connections that could, for example, transmit high-resolution moving pictures. Rambus is considered the front-runner to develop memory acceleration technology for use in future Sony gaming systems, said Mike Crawford, an analyst with B. Riley and Co.
