Lead-free and leaded package soldering compatibility – Backward and forward compatibility

This white paper explores the aspect of reliability for this relatively new and specifically difficult soldering technology used in the manufacturing of boards of electronic components soldered according to the newest regulations requiring not to use any lead (even in soldering where it has long been the basis for solder paste because of its low fusion temperature).

But it seems that AMD will have to be a little more patient.

This is not a very good omen for the financial come-back of Intel’s main competitor that is still depending a lot of this year’s launch of 3- and 4-core processors.
