Patent ID: 7329946

Claim:
A device comprising: an integrated circuit package, the integrated circuit package comprising: a top surface comprising first conductive elements and second conductive elements, the first conductive elements coupled to and 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 bottom 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 respective other ones of the first conductive elements are not received by the second conductive elements, wherein the interface elements are to carry power and ground signals from the circuit board to the integrated circuit die, wherein a footprint of the first conductive elements is smaller than a footprint of 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.
