The CEO of Intel has admitted it has a contingency plan if Direct Rambus memory fails to deliver on time. Craig Barrett, speaking in London at a Dow Jones conference, said that his company would be "foolish" if it didn't have a contingency plan.

He said: "We'd be considered foolish if we didn't have a contigency plan." He admitted that Intel's investment in both Samsung and Micron was because of its commitment to Direct Rambus. But, he said, much depended on the memory companies able to execute on Rambus. ®
