Patent ID: 8837161

Claim:
A Multi-configuration Processor-Memory device for coupling to a PCB (printed circuit board) interface of a printed circuit board comprising: a substrate having both a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the substrate mounts a processor and a second number of memory components in the second configuration, and mounts another processor and a different number of memory components in the first configuration, wherein in the second configuration both the processor and the memory components are positioned on the same side of the substrate and the other side of the substrate is free of electronic components and in the first configuration the another processor and the different number of memory components are positioned on different sides of the substrate; and an interface comprising a plurality of solder balls built into the substrate, wherein the plurality of solder balls surface mount the substrate to a PCB interface of a printed circuit board; wherein the second number of memory components of the second configuration is two memory components and the different number of memory components of the first configuration is at least four memory components.
