    EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The Embedded
 Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) today announced that RMI
 Corporation(TM) (RMI(R)), a supplier of processor-based solutions for
 enterprise, infrastructure, and consumer applications, is the consortium's
 newest member.
 
     RMI joins EEMBC as a member of the consortium's board of directors,
 with full voting rights on all major issues decided by the consortium, plus
 full access to all of the EEMBC benchmarks.
 
     "RMI's experience in multi-core technology and networking applications
 will help bring to EEMBC first-hand knowledge that will be invaluable for
 the testing of our series of multi-core processor benchmarks and
 next-generation networking and telecommunications benchmarks," said EEMBC
 President Markus Levy. "We are very pleased to welcome them as our 34th
