Steven Woo
I was drawn to Rambus to focus on cutting edge computing technologies. Throughout my 15+ year career, I’ve helped invent, create and develop means of driving and extending performance in both hardware and software solutions. At Rambus, we are solving challenges that are completely new to the industry and occur as a response to deployments that are highly sophisticated and advanced.
As an inventor, I find myself approaching a challenge like a room filled with 100,000 pieces of a puzzle where it is my job to figure out how they all go together – without knowing what it is supposed to look like in the end. For me, the job of finishing the puzzle is as enjoyable as the actual process of coming up with a new, innovative solution.
For example, RDRAM®, our first mainstream memory architecture, implemented in hundreds of millions of consumer, computing and networking products from leading electronics companies including Cisco, Dell, Hitachi, HP, Intel, etc. We did a lot of novel things that required inventiveness – we pushed the envelope and created state of the art performance without making actual changes to the infrastructure.
I’m excited about the new opportunities as computing is becoming more and more pervasive in our everyday lives. With a world full of data, my job and my fellow inventors’ job will be to stay curious, maintain an inquisitive approach and create solutions that are technologically superior and that seamlessly intertwine with our daily lives.
After an inspiring work day at Rambus, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, swimming, and reading.

Testimonials
Hear from some of our partners, speakers and attendees on why they love participating with the AI Hardware Summit!
The AI Hardware Summit is a great place where lots of people interested in AI Hardware are coming together and exchanging ideas, and together we make the technology better. There’s a synergistic effect at these summits which is really amazing and powers the entire industry.
The AI Hardware Summit seems to be the best forum for serious AI hardware news and discussions among real influencers in the industry. This is one event where the level of technical know-how is at the right "level" for decision making in the AI data center - where the presentations, panels, discussions and networking opportunities are highly relevant.
The AI Hardware Summit is one of the most unique conferences in the industry in the way that it maintains a strong technical depth on the talks and attracts industry leaders, from the big companies to up and coming startups. It is the only place where you can make the right business connections and learn from luminaries in the AI hardware space.
This event has quickly emerged as THE conference for all things fast and efficient for processing deep neural networks. The content is a nice blend of technology, solutions and company strategies.
Stellar keynote, interesting talks on "big problems" like throughput, AI model flexibility and energy consumption. Most of the relevant hardware startups were in attendance or presented, including a few new ones that I hadn't heard of! A good lineup.
This year's AI Hardware Summit had a rock star lineup of speakers, and included a number of first ever disclosures of products and technologies. This is becoming a can't miss conference for the industry.
I loved the targeted approach for an event like this. I thought the calibre of attendees was appropriate for the event. It offered a great chance to network with industry leaders.
