Re: "This is the basic curve to look for an explanation. Evidently, Intel did not cover in testing of this part over a sufficient time to allow for all the failures the occur in the first part of the curve" That's not the purpose of production test. That's what burnin is for. I don't know if Intel burns in their engineering samples nor do I know if Tom got an Engineering sample. If he got a production part, the chance of an early life failure is very very low. Well below 0.1%. Probably below 0.05%. A non burnedin part would have a slightly higher failure rate but still very low. EP
