5Environmental Requirements

Design, including materials, shall be consistent with the manufacture of units that meet the following environmental reference points.

The reliability targets in this section are based on the expected field use environment for a desktop product. The test sequence for new sockets will be developed using the knowledge-based reliability evaluation methodology, which is acceleration factor dependent. A simplified process flow of this methodology can be seen in Figure 5-1.

The use environment expectations assumed are for desktop processors, based on an expected life of 7 to 10 years, are listed in Table 5-1.The target failure rates are <1% at 7 years and <3% at 10 years.
