What do you mean "Gets the leadout"?

Why do I even care?

Over the last 10 years, Intel has been reducing the use of lead (Pb) in our processors to make them EU RoHS compliant. Intel has been named "Technology Super Sector Leader (by Dow Jones Sustainability Indes) for 6 years running. Intel has now unvieled the 45nm family of processors which are "Lead-Free"!

Intel has also taken pro-active steps over the past couple of years to eliminate the use of Halogenated Flame Retardants(HFR). In 2008 we began converting to halogen-free packaging technology for our CPU and Chipset products and expect most of our 45nm processors will use halogen-free package technology by the end of 2008. We took these proactive actions because HFR materals can be difficult to recycle and potentually harmful if inhaled during time of incineration. These materials have been used as fire retardants in electronic components and printed circuit baoards throughout the industry for several decades. Do you want to see if your Intel processor is Pb(Lead)-free and halogen free? Then go to this WEB page http://intel.pcnalert.com, then follow this easy step by step process:
