Stacked and folded above motherboard interposer

Abstract

A computing device has a motherboard circuit substrate having at least a first layer of electrical interconnects, a socket arranged to receive a main processor for the computing device, the socket electrically coupled to at least a portion of the first layer of electrical interconnects, at least two interposer substrates between the main processor and the socket such that the interposer substrate electrically connects to the main processor and the socket, wherein the interposer substrate has a first set of interconnects that electrically connect between the socket and the first layer of electrical interconnects, at least two peripheral circuits on each interposer substrate, the peripheral circuit connected to the main processor through a second set of interconnects on the interposer substrate that connects to the main processor without connecting to the socket or the motherboard circuit substrate, wherein each interposer substrate is folded to allow each peripheral circuit to have an equal path length between the peripheral circuit and the main processor, wherein the at least two interposer substrates are stacked such that the at least two peripheral circuits on each interposer substrate are stacked with the at least two peripheral circuits on another of the at least two interposer substrates.
