Innovations for a healthier planet

Delivering technologies that make less of a negative impact on our environment, Intel has made the move to lead-free¹ and halogen-free products².

The new era of scaling in an SoC world

See what Intel Senior Fellow Mark Bohr had to say in his keynote address to the prestigious International Solid State Circuits Conference in February 2009.

¹ 45nm product is manufactured on a lead-free process. Lead-free per EU RoHS directive July, 2006 (2002/95/EC, Annex A). Some EU RoHS exemptions may apply to other components used in the product package.

² Residual amounts of halogens are below November, 2007 proposed IPC/JEDEC J-STD-709 standards.
