#2Does this also entail that no Saudi Arabian [0] or American fossil fuels will be used in the entire supply chain?

Everything upsets someone.
"Conflict-free" is like "inoffensive". It's impossible to apply for everyone.

Exactly. Says nothing about the toxicity to get the materials out, the wages paid, whether there were bribes or not, etc etc.
But hey, better than nothing.

#5Impossible unfortunately, as long as it's operating in Israel.

#6I'd take a cheaper processor over a "conflict free" one every day.

How about operating in the US, which on average kills 3-4 civilians per 1 enemy combatant (Israel kills 1) and starts wars for no apparent reason (what did Iraq have to do with 9/11 - that's more than 100,000 people killed, do you have an idea how much more that is compared to people killed by the IDF in the last decades? Why support "rebels" in Libya or Syria?)

I wonder how many of the people who "downvoted" this comment used a device with an Intel chip.
In reality many of us only care because it is fashionable to do so.

The two of you have proven why this is basically meaningless.

I'm vaguely more familiar with diamonds rather than metals. Conflict Diamonds and metals (commonly) mean a mine run by slave labor with all proceeds going to finance a war.
It's an easy thing to confuse. Your model, no components from any country at war is admirable, but not likely feasible.
