Abstract:
1. An interleaved heat sink structure for dissipating heat from memory, comprising: a first row of heat sink extensions, each heat sink extension of the first row is spaced apart from each other and is coupled to a first heat sink base, the first heat sink base being thermally coupled to a first plurality of memory packages that are arranged along the first row; and a second row of heat sink extensions, each heat sink extension of the second row is spaced apart from each other and is coupled to a second heat sink base, the second heat sink base being thermally coupled to a second plurality of memory packages that are arranged along the second row, wherein each heat sink extension of the first row of heat sink extensions is parallel to and at least partially interleaved with each heat sink extension of the second row of heat sink extensions and heat sink extensions of the first row being spaced apart from heat sink extensions of the second row and selected heat sink extensions of the first row are adjacent to selected heat sink extensions of the second row.
