Patent ID: 7589414

Claim:
A device comprising: an integrated circuit package, the integrated circuit package comprising: an upper surface comprising first conductive elements and second conductive elements, the first conductive elements to receive input/output signals from respective conductive elements of an integrated circuit die, and the second conductive elements to receive a first plurality of the input/output signals from respective ones of the first conductive elements; and a lower surface comprising interface elements to electrically couple the integrated circuit package to a circuit board and third conductive elements, the third conductive elements to receive a second plurality of the input/output signals from respective other ones of the first conductive elements; wherein the interface elements are to carry power and ground signals to the integrated circuit die; wherein the respective other ones of the first conductive elements are not received by the second conductive elements; wherein each of the second conductive elements is to receive a respective one of fourth conductive elements, the fourth conductive elements disposed on a first coupling surface of a connector, and wherein each of the third conductive elements is to receive a respective one of fifth conductive elements, the fifth conductive elements disposed on a second coupling surface of the connector.
