Re-Validation Notice to Socket Vendors

Any significant change to the socket will require submission of a detailed explanation of the change at least 60 days prior to the planned implementation. Intel will review the modification and establish the necessary re-validation procedure that the socket must pass. Any testing that is required MUST be completed before the change is implemented.

Typical examples of significant changes include, but are not limited to, the following: plastic material changes including base material or color; contact changes including base material, plating material or thickness; and design modifications.

For details on validation testing requirements, see Section 6.
